I’m facing challenges using published Google Docs for website content due to iframe limitations with link behavior and height adjustments. What alternative methods or services can resolve these issues?
In my experience, a good method to handle these issues involves processing the Google Docs content server-side to convert it to static HTML before embedding it into your webpage. I worked on a similar project where iframes caused unpredictable behavior with link clicks and height adjustments. By extracting the HTML content with a custom parser and reformatting it according to your style guidelines, you gain more control over the presentation. This approach not only enhances responsiveness but also improves the overall reliability of the embedded content without relying solely on iframes.
Based on my own experience working on similar projects, I believe a practical solution involves dynamically converting your document content to HTML before embedding it. This can circumvent some of the issues related to iframe limitations, particularly regarding link behavior and height adjustments. Utilizing Google Docs API or retrieving the raw content through Google Drive APIs gives you the flexibility to adjust styles and layout more freely. This approach might require some additional coding, but it offers a better long-term solution for maintaining responsiveness and control over your website’s design.
