Definition and Usage

The srcdoc property sets or returns the value of the srcdoc attribute in an iframe element.

The srcdoc attribute specifies the HTML content of the page to shown in the inline frame.

Tip: This attribute is expected to be used together with the sandbox and seamless attributes.

If a browser supports the srcdoc attribute, it will override the content specified in the src attribute (if present).

If a browser does NOT support the srcdoc attribute, it will show the file specified in the src attribute instead (if present).
