27 Apr 20246 minutes to read

When the iframeSettings option is enabled, the Rich Text Editor creates the iframe element as the content area on control initialization. It is used to display and editing the content in content area. The editor will display only the body tag of a < iframe > document.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { RichTextEditorAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-richtexteditor'
import { DialogModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'




    /**
     * RTE IFrame Sample
     */
    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    import { ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-richtexteditor';
    @Component({
imports: [
        
        RichTextEditorAllModule,
        DialogModule
    ],


standalone: true,
        selector: 'app-root',
        template: `<ejs-richtexteditor id='iframeRTE' [iframeSettings]='iframe'></ejs-richtexteditor>`,
        providers: [ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService]
    })
    export class AppComponent  {
        public iframe: object = { enable: true };
    }

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

IFrame attributes

The editor allows you to pass an additional attribute to body tag of a < iframe > element using attributes fields of the iframeSettings property. This property contains name/value pairs in string format. It is used to override the default appearance of the content area.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { RichTextEditorAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-richtexteditor'
import { DialogModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'




    /**
     * RTE IFrame attributes Sample
     */

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-richtexteditor';
@Component({
imports: [
        
        RichTextEditorAllModule,
        DialogModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-richtexteditor id='iframeRTE' [iframeSettings]='iframe'></ejs-richtexteditor>`,
    providers: [ToolbarService, LinkService, ImageService, HtmlEditorService]
})
export class AppComponent  {
    public iframe: object = {
        enable: true,
        attributes: {
            readonly: 'readonly'
        }
    };
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Adding external CSS/Script file

The editor offers you to add external CSS file to style the < iframe > element. Easily change the appearance of editor’s content using an external CSS file using styles field in the iframeSettings property.

Likewise, add the external script file to the < iframe > element using the scripts field of iframeSettings to provide the additional functionalities to the RichTextEditor.

            },
            resources: {
                scripts: [''],  // script.js
