HTML5 defines a new attribute for iFrames named srcdoc. This attribute allows
developers to specify an iFrame's content in-line with the iFrame itself. For
instance:
<iframe srcdoc="<html><body>Hello, <b>world</b>.</body></html>"></iframe>
This feature only began to see adoption in major browsers in early 2013. Fortunately, most older browsers support similar functionality through script-targeted URLs, i.e.
<iframe src="javascript: '<html><body>Hello, <b>world</b>.</body></html>'"></iframe>
(Because of limitations on URL length, the actual mechanism that the polyfill implements not quite this direct.)
For more on srcdoc, see the WhatWG specification and this post on
Bocoup.com.
By including the script at the bottom of the document <body>, any available
iFrames which declare a srcdoc attribute attribute) will receive this
"shimmed" behavior. (In browsers that already implement this functionality, no
change will take place.)
This script may be consumed as a AMD module, a CommonJS module, or standalone
via direct inclusion with a <script> element.
The shim also defines a minimal JavaScript API:
srcDoc.set( iframe [, content] )- sets the content of the provided iFrame element using thesrcdocattribute where available (falling back on a script-targeted URL in non-supporting browsers). The desired content of the iFrame may optionally be specified. If blank, the current value of the element'ssrcdocattribute will be referenced for content.srcDoc.noConflict()- Sets the value of the globalsrcDocvariable to its original value. Returns thesrcDocobject defined by this project for re-aliasing.

The build process for this project is written with Grunt.js. Please refer to the grunt documentation for details on installing grunt.
The shim's tests are written in QUnit, and can be run by visiting the
test/index.html file in the browser, or by running grunt test from the
command line.
