Adobe CEP extension iframe issue

[Shashwat35448637yrm0]

 I’m in the process of creating an extension (extension using Adobe's Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) for HTML5-based extensions) designed for my B2B clientele, which will facilitate the downloading, editing, and subsequent uploading of videos for display on my website. Given that my existing website already encompasses these features, I’m contemplating the integration of an iframe within the extension. This method would allow for a unified codebase, streamlining the update process and enhancing efficiency. My concern revolves around the practicality of implementing the extension via an iframe to circumvent the need for multiple codebases while continuing to adeptly cater to my business clients. Furthermore, I’m curious about potential hurdles I may encounter when submitting the extension to Adobe, and whether employing an iframe poses any issues in terms of acceptance and publication on the Adobe platform.

We don't specifically preclude the use of iframes, though it's not a common pattern...

What has your testing shown?

[Shashwat35448637yrm0]

The iframe functions correctly during testing, but I've encountered issues with scrolling. Specifically, the scrolling behavior becomes inconsistent. My website also incorporates routing, and when navigating back through breadcrumbs, the scrolling on those pages ceases, despite initially working as expected.

Frustrating; I think you have your answer. I don't see any iframe usage in the CEP sample panels.

Can u help me with this, is this a known issue or is this related to how CEF works?

Sorry, I cannot; such problems are outside my areas of expertise (PPro integration). 

I'll make others aware of your interest, to see whether they can offer guidance; you may wish to reconsider whether iframes are the right approach.

Thanks a lot for that!! I will think on the approach if no other solution is available
