Description

Web Player analysis may be embedded in an iframe by providing the analysis URL as the iframe src attribute as shown below:
 
 <iframe src="http://mySpotfireServer/spotfire/wp/OpenAnalysis?file=/Introduction%20to%20Spotfire&options=7-1,8-1,9-1,10-1,11-1,12-1,13-1,14-1,1-1,2-1,3-1,4-1,5-0,6-0,15-1,17-1" width="800" height="600" ></iframe>

However using the above iframe, a refresh icon is displayed before being able to display the analysis in a web application.
 

Issue/Introduction

How to skip the display of Refresh icon when the Web Player analysis URL is embedded in an iframe.

Resolution

The embedded page is supposed to work that way, and if you want your analysis to load directly we need to use a slightly different URL in iframe. Check the below two options for more clarification:
 <html><head></head>              <!-- Option 1. You must refresh first -->  <iframe src="http://mySpotfireServer/spotfire/wp/OpenAnalysis?file=/Introduction%20to%20Spotfire&options=7-1,8-1,9-1,10-1,11-1,12-1,13-1,14-1,1-1,2-1,3-1,4-1,5-0,6-0,15-1,17-1" width="800" height="600" ></iframe> <!-- Option 2. You must NOT refresh first -->  <iframe src="http://mySpotfireServer/spotfire/wp/Embed?file=/Introduction%20to%20Spotfire&options=7-1,8-1,9-1,10-1,11-1,12-0,13-1,14-0,1-0,2-1,3-1,4-1,5-1,6-1,15-1" width="800" height="600" ></iframe>
