  1. I am seeking to embed an airtable form into a webpage. On the embed view, if I turn on autosize height, there is a javascript. When this switch is turned off, the embed is just a simple iframe.

  2. On the page webpage where I’m attempting to embed the airtable form, I can embed other pages using iframe. Therefore, I know iframe will properly display content.

  3. The embed code supplied by airtable shows nothing. The page is blank.

  4. When I use an iframe checker it reports: Header X-Frame-Options found. The header is set to SAMEORIGIN. You are on a different domain and therefore this page can NOT be included.. If I understand X-Frame properly, this indicates that an iframe embed can only be made from the airtable domain. The full header reported is as follows:

Note both Referrer-Policy: same-origin and X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN. I’m assuming the latter is the issue.

How are people embedding pages if the X-Frame-Options are set to SAMEORIGIN? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Using the /embed URL, e.g.

<iframe src="https://airtable.com/embed/shrvalXXXXXXXXXXX"></iframe>
