Dear dash creators and users,
Could you please help me with an html.Iframe usage in dash layout. I haven´t found any answer via community yet.
I create
app.layout = html.Iframe(src = “Trial.html”)
I see the borders of the frame but the site is not loaded and the frame is empty. I tried both absolute and relative paths. If path does not exists it loads the copy of the main site recurcively.
From the pure html file the … works well. Ha ha, even here in forum it regonizes html code.
What might be the reason that iframe does not work in dash?
The reason why I do it acutally, is the ability to read html code into the main dash site. I faced the problem with big tables: it is much faster to create html-code rather than pack each cell with html.Table, [html.Tr](http://html.Tr), [html.Td](http://html.Td) methods.
May be you have another ideas how to load big tables in to main site with dash? Big table is kind of 20000 x 300 from pandas dataframe. Pandas create html-code in a second and packing with html. methods takes minutes.
Thank you

I believe that setting `src="Trial.html"` will try to serve a file named `Trial.html`. By default, Dash does not serve files. You will need to add a new route to the server to serve that file, like this:
```auto
@server.route('/static/')
def serve_static(path):
root_dir = os.getcwd()
return flask.send_from_directory(os.path.join(root_dir, 'static'), path)
```
and then place `Trial.html` in that file.
I believe that you can also just put the entire HTML string as `src=`, but I’m not sure.

I’m working on some prototypes for an interactive and editable Table component in Dash: [GitHub - plotly/dash-table-experiments: NO LONGER SUPPORTED - use https://github.com/plotly/dash-table instead](https://github.com/plotly/dash-table-experiments). It’ll be a couple more weeks before something is ready.
Just curious, what do you expect to do with a table this large? (Since it’s so big, it’s difficult to scroll through or to manually search for cells)

you need to creat a folder named assets and set the \*.html file in it.
