Someone asked about collaboration tools and the ability to embed them on an HTML page.

My immediate thought was, “Sure, this is possible…right?”

I did not know it would be as easy as to embed an editable Google Document in an iframe. Never thought about doing that before.

So something like this:

So just treat an iframe like a photo. You can just add a link, size it to the width and height you want. And finally, place it where you want on the page.

It might not work for every situation. But this person wanted a webpage that people in different locations can edit.

Admittedly, there are downsides to this approach. It is not secure, for starters. But the client loved it.
