 * Hi there
 * I am planning on using this plugin to bring through a ordering application that
   runs on another site but both hosted at my work location. I have been hearing
   that there are security risks with using an iFrame, I would just like to know
   what those risks are and if the plugin compensates for theses issues?
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Using iFrames on a site when you also control the site being served within the
   iFrame does not constitute a security risk, although it may look like a potential
   security risk to some users.
 * This has been discussed in various places,
