How to open html code in iframe or new page?

Gowri S · ‎04-07-2023

From UI action, we have outbound API call to external system as response they are sending html code and it has to be opened in iframe or new page, it will be external page not ServiceNow page.

I am receiving the HTML code, now I am not sure how to open it in new page or iframe. Kindly let me know if this is possible.

Thanks Gowri

1) Can you share some snippet or show me the response?

2) From where in ServiceNow you are getting the response(script include/ client script)?

Hi Prince,

1) Can you share some snippet or show me the response?

I couldn't share the screenshot, but I can give you sample structure for response:

<!doctype html><html lang="en"><head>....</head><body>...</body></html>

2) From where in ServiceNow you are getting the response(script include/ client script)?

From UI action client script -> calling script include function -> rest message for outbound API ->response from script include is return to UI action.

Thanks,

Gowri

@Gowri S ,

Can you try one thing,

Once you got response back in UI action script from the script include, you can render the data using GlideModal API like mentioned below:

I am assuming your UI action would be of Client Side (Client side UI action has more flexibility for UI operations)

var htmlData = YOUR HTML RESPONSE;
var gm = new GlideModal();
gm.setTitle("Response Data");
gm.setWidth(550);
gm.renderWithContent(htmlData);
