ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
--------------------
When attempting to display embedded HTML (for example, HTML IFrames) from external web domains within an Analysis column or static text object using OBIEE 12c, the following behavior occurs when attempting to view the analysis:

• If using Internet Explorer
  • The following error is generated in the embedded HTML:
    • This content cannot be displayed in a frame
      To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame.
• If using FireFox
  • The embedded HTML does not display and no error is generated.
    Note:
    If viewing the console tab from browser developer tools (F12 on keyboard, then click console tab) and reloading the page, the following error is generated:
    Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at http://<server>/ (“default-src http://<server>:<port>”).
• If using Chrome
  • The embedded HTML does not display and no error is generated.
