display html markup content via iframe and Spring injection

[sam White]

Hi, I want to display a product description , but the description is has html mark up codes.
I tried to use iframe to achieve that, but iframe require src=external.html.
Since I don't want to create an external.html for every description, how can I use iframe or other method to display my product description with html market up content?

Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

I'm way out of my depth here, not being a GUI expert, but if this is a swing application, I believe JTextField allows html markup.

How much I have no idea though.

And if this is Web-based, surely it can already deal with the markup?

So is this a web app or what is it?

It is a web app.
I know I can display the html content without iframe, but it will mess up the existing web design.
Considering the html content inside a iframe is only a product description which is published by user, it is a bad idea to allow user to alter the hosting webpage design.

Assuming the html content is stored in a database, how to display the html content (with html tags) src in iframe after retrieved it from database?

If you want to use an iframe, the HTML will need to be in another document.

Is there other way that I can display the html using spring injection?
eg. when displaying image, we use
likewise, in iframe,
I want to display html content with: <iframe src="/product/description/productId"></iframe>
I have tested this, it is unsuccessful. Spring doesn't know how to "wire" iframe with spring injection...

Spring dependency injection is JVM objects injected into other JVM objects.

You could do a simple AJAX call to a REST service that returns the HTML and then insert it into the DOM with javascript. Just have a holder for the html.
