How can we enable progressive profiling in an iframe?

[Ashley_Gugliel1]

Hello! We had read that progressive profiling works on non-Marketo webpages if you use an iframe. We implemented the iframes but progressive profiling isn't working. Does anyone know how we can fix this? Here's an example: A data-driven approach to talent. Thanks in advance!!

Actually progressive profiling works even with embedded forms.  It's prefill that doesn't work.  Two different concepts.

IFRAME = a Marketo LP in an IFRAME.  If it works when you hit the LP directly, then it'll work when you embed it in an IFRAME.

Thanks for your quick reply! The form prefills on our Marketo landing pages, but it's not prefilling in the iframe on the non-Marketo pages.

You'll have to provide both URLs. You seem to be talking about prefill now, whereas at first you talked about prog-pro. In any case there's no reason for the IFRAME w/page X to be any different from that same page X (note: the same page at the same domain) viewed directly in the browser.

Thanks! You are right, we're looking for the form to prefill.

That form isn't in an IFRAME, it's an embedded form, which is (for our purposes) very different. Embedded forms, awesome as they are, do not prefill. 

You should instruct your designer to actually use an HTML <IFRAME> element to embed the landing page with the form.  That's what we mean by "the IFRAME method."
