How to hide an iframe url in HTML source code.

Question

How to hide an iframe url in HTML source code.I have two applications one applications get an url of another application into its iFrame,so that it displays in its source code.I dont want to display another application url in the source code.

Answer 1

You can't hide it per say, but you can run it through something like TinyURL so that anyone interested would need to go an extra step. Anyway, that's the only thing I can think of. However, if you are displaying that page in a frame, what's the harm in having the URL in the source code? There really isn't a good, foolproof way to prevent someone determined from finding out the location of that iframe page.

Answer 2

I think you would need to set the IFRAME URL via JavaScript. The Javascript could then be Obfuscated, so that the URL would not be in plain text... Please see the following link for the obfuscator:

i.e. if it was jQuery...

$("#myiFrame").attr('src','http://www.google.com');

becomes:

var _0xc1cb=["\x73\x72\x63","\x68\x74\x74\x70\x3A\x2F\x2F\x77\x77\x77\x2E\x67\x6F\x6F\x67\x6C\x65\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D","\x61\x74\x74\x72","\x23\x6D\x79\x69\x46\x72\x61\x6D\x65"];$(_0xc1cb[3])[_0xc1cb[2]](_0xc1cb[0],_0xc1cb[1]);
