Prevent an iFrame from refreshing when navigating?

Ask us anything How do I?

Hi there!

I’ve got a page when I am using an iFrame to visualise some 3D data. When I navigate to another page, then come back to the page that has the iFrame - the url/webpage has been reloaded. I can understand how this may be useful by default, however I’d like to keep it as is. Is this possible?

If a user used a few filters here and there in his 3D graph, navigates away to check something, and comes back, the page reloaded and they have to start from scratch.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, it’s not possible. If you navigate away then the iframe is unmounted and destroyed.

What you could try is to put the iframe inside a linked section, use the section on every page but hide it. Linked section are kept alive between page change as they are the same.
