The style display property is used to hide and show the content of HTML DOM by accessing the DOM element using JavaScript/jQuery. To hide an element, set the style display property to “none”. document. getElementById(“element”). You can’t. If the URL isn’t in the HTML, how would the browser know where to get it? * But there is a trick that can solve your purpose. * HTML file * * * * * main.js file * * var iframe = document.querySelector(‘#iframe’); iframe.setAttribute(‘src’, ‘ [http://your-website.org/some-link-to-iframe/’](http://your-website.org/some-link-to-iframe/’);); Though it removes the url from iframe, the javascripts dynamically add that. * Hope it helps! - This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by [marshal09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marshal09/).
