title: IFrame Plugin
---

The iframe plugin provides the functionality to open sidebar & navbar items in a tabbed iframe.

##### Required Markup
To get the iframe 100% working you need the following content-wrapper markup:

```html
<div class="content-wrapper iframe-mode" data-widget="iframe" data-loading-screen="750">
  <div class="nav navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-white navbar-light border-bottom p-0">
    <a class="nav-link bg-danger" href="#" data-widget="iframe-close">Close</a>
    <ul class="navbar-nav" role="tablist"></ul>
  </div>
  <div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-empty">
      <h2 class="display-4">No tab selected!</h2>
    </div>
    <div class="tab-loading">
      <div>
        <h2 class="display-4">Tab is loading <i class="fa fa-sync fa-spin"></i></h2>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```

###### Markup with Default IFrame Tab
```html
<div class="content-wrapper iframe-mode" data-widget="iframe" data-loading-screen="750">
  <div class="nav navbar navbar-expand navbar-white navbar-light border-bottom p-0">

      <a class="nav-link bg-danger dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Close</a>
      <div class="dropdown-menu mt-0">

    </div>
    <div class="tab-pane fade" id="panel-index-html" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="tab-index-html"><iframe src="./index.html"></iframe></div>
