Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for seamlessly embedding content from other sources into web pages. Iframes are typically used to embed the content from other sources. The design or style components of the content from other sources displayed through an Iframe may not match the surrounding content of the web page in which the Iframe is embedded. Often updating the style components of an Iframe will require a client to visit the source of the content, update code, and/or refresh the client's webpage to reflect the updated content. Disclosed herein are methods and systems for allowing a client to update style components of content displayed in an Iframe directly from the Iframe, without requiring the client to leave the client webpage, update code, or refresh the client webpage.
