HTML Standard attribute: sandbox

[this page | pdf | back links]

The HTML sandbox attribute indicates extra restrictions applied to the content of an <iframe> element. The sorts of additional restrictions that can be imposed include:

 

-        Deeming the content to come from a unique origin

-        Blocking form submission, script execution or execution of APIs

-        Preventing some sorts of links

-        Preventing content from using plug-ins (e.g. from <embed> or <object> elements)

-        Blocking some automatically triggered features (such as automatically playing a <video> element)

 

Valid attribute values (when used with <iframe> elements) include either sandbox (which results in all restrictions being applied) or a space delimited list of values that exclude specific restrictions. These values are:
