    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      I notice that when using the iFrame macro, you can assign an ID. What we would like to see is the ability to assign a name to the iFrame macro, and then when creating links on a Confluence page, have the ability (possibly under Advanced links options where you modify anchor links) to target an iFrame by name (in case there are multiple iFrames on a page)

      We have pages where we have close to 100 links on them and right now if a user clicks on a link, it opens in the parent window causing the user to leave Confluence. They can click back to in their browser or keyboard to return to Confluence, but this isn't ideal.

      What would be ideal would be to create an iFrame on the page, and when we're creating links we would like to have an option under the Edit Link button to specify an iFrame (by iFrame name) to open the link in. That way the user can see the iFrame content without leaving the parent Confluence window.

            Hey Bill,

            I'd love to use the HTML macro for this idea, unfortunately the HTML macro is not available for OnDemand instances, which is why I raised this request because the iFrame macro already is OnDemand available. Hopefully the HTML macro will beome available for OnDemand soon, any ETA?

            Thanks,
            Craig

            Thank you for raising this issue. While I can see how this feature would be useful, we have no plans to implement it in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations, we're closing this request now. Your best bet would be to use the HTML macro to do this. Thanks again for your idea.
