iFrame behavior in CRM2016 when passing parameters

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi
I have a problem behavior with iFrame after migrate 2015 to 2016 SP1 (both on-premises).
I read various articles about Microsoft change on 2015 SP1 but nothing explain that.
Think in one tab (collapsed by default) that have one iFrame. This iFrame is checked to pass parameters.
The TabStateChange in the tab call this code:

var IFrame = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(frame);
IFrame.setSrc('customized_page.html');

When expand the tab, the above code is called. After the first execution the address of the iFrame is:
"customized_page.html"

If I collapse and expand this the result for the same code is:
"customized_page.html?OrgLCID=1046&UserLCID=1046&id=%7bB3FBE90D-AC21-E611-80CC-00155D963719%7d&orgname=Cotonso&type=1010&typename=contract"

Why the parameters are not appended in the first execution ?

    The problem was bypassed with the system parameter.
    Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> General. Select “Yes” under “Use legacy form rendering”.
    Theses resource disable this behavior (returning like 2015 version). These approach lose the implementation made by Microsoft like link bellow.

    This doesnt work because the behavior is the same in all frames at the same screen.

    If the parameters are loaded in first call I would be saved it. But what occurs here is the opposite.

    Tks

    so why can't you backup the parameters in a global JavaScript variable and use it for the next iframe setsrc call?

    This is not applied in my case, but thanks for the suggestion.

    instead you could save the parameters in a global JavaScript variable, if that is suitable for your application.

    Then you can use this global variable multiple times.

    Maybe this blog can guide you also:

    Hi Andreas.

    Thanks for your suggestions but I already tried this.

    This approach works fine in CRM2015. But in CRM2016 this line:

    var Url = IFrame.getSrc();

    Getting Url value it is without the parameters. This behavior is only in the first call.

    Hi,

    On first execution it seems you do not pass parameters within your code.

    You should use code similar to the one below:

      var ordername = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue();

      var IFrame = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_sendvalue");

      var Url = IFrame.getSrc();

      if (Url.indexOf("?") != -1)

          Url = Url.substr(0, Url.indexOf("?"));

      var param1 = Url+"?ordername="+ordername;

      IFrame.setSrc(param1);

    This will take the original parameters and then you pass them to your own call of iframe.setSrc(..).
