Problem with Web Page Viewer Extension

adarsh_a — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using Web page viewer extension available in QlikView. I'm unable to open some of the websites.

Eg. 'google' is not opening in extension but 'bing' is opening. I have attached a snapshot of the error message.

Hi,

I tried and even I get the same error.

This is because few websites do not allow the content to be displayed in an IFrame.

may be Google even applied the same policy. Now you cannot access google in the IFrame.

Hope it helped

Web page viewer uses an <iframe> html element to display an url. Some web pages do not allow this.

Google is sending an "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" response header. This option prevents the browser from displaying iFrames that are not hosted on the same domain as the parent page.

Is there any alternative way for the iframe option like Object in the HTML5. Will it work with webpage viewer?
