Load iframe only one time, and hide it with toggle event-CodePudding

I have different iframe, but it slows down. I want the iframe to only load, when a button is clicked. And then hide/show iframe with toggle event. Example of the code:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#button2").click(function(){
            $("#iframecon").toggle();
        });
    });
</script>
<input type="checkbox" id="button2" onClick='document.getElementById("iframe2").src="/page1.php";'>
<div id="iframecon">
    <iframe id="iframe2" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
</div>

How can I do it? Thanks

You probably want the change event not the click; jQuery will handle it as "one" event trigger but standard JavaScript will add two event listeners so we should just use one (the change)

Note this assumes a hard coded URL in both these BUT I also added some "html" to inject in just for this demo.

Examples:

jQuery example:

Here I hide it initially, then toggle after I set the src value.

$(function() {
  const htmlString = "<h1>content</h1><p>hi there!";
  const $frm = $("#iframe2");
  $frm.hide();
  $("#button2").on('click, change', function(event) {
    const srcU = "someurlhere";
    if ($frm.attr("src") !== srcU) {
      // just for this demo
      $frm.attr("src", "data:text/html;charset=utf-8,"   escape(htmlString))
      // using an actual URL string:
      // $frm.attr("src", srcU);
    }
    $frm.toggle();
  });
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" id="button2">
<div id="iframecon">
  <iframe id="iframe2" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
</div>

Generic JavaScript:

Here I use a class and set that in the HTML so it is initially hidden with that CSS; then I toggle that class if the checkbox is checked to remove it or add it if NOT checked so the hide follows the X/checked shows, unchecked hides.

Alternative to this one would be to set a dataset value on the iframe then put CSS in to reflect the show/hide from that value such as #iframe2{display:none;} #iframe2[data-showme="true"]{display:block;} so any value other than "true" or not yet set hides it (order dependency of the CSS matters)

const toggleCheck = document.querySelector("#button2");
// just to show the content IS added; same as src with a URL but I just inject some
const htmlString = "<h1>content</h1><p>hi there!";

function handleEvent(event) {
  const ifrm = document.querySelector("#iframe2");
  const srcU = "someurlhere";
  const isSet = ifrm.src === srcU;
  if (!isSet) {
    // just for this demo
    ifrm.src = "data:text/html;charset=utf-8,"   escape(htmlString);
    // ifrm.src = srcU;
  }
  ifrm.classList.toggle('hidden', !event.target.checked);
}
toggleCheck.addEventListener('change', handleEvent, false);

.hidden {
  display: none;
}

<input type="checkbox" id="button2">
<div id="iframecon">
  <iframe id="iframe2" width="100%" height="100%" ></iframe>
</div>

You can try something like this:

    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#button2").click(function(){
            var iframe = $("#iframe2");
            if (iframe.attr("src") === "") {
                iframe.attr("src", "/page1.php");
            }
            $("#iframecon").toggle();
        });
    });
</script>
<input type="checkbox" id="button2">
<div id="iframecon" style="display: none;">
    <iframe id="iframe2" src="" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
</div>

Check the src of the iframe
