title: iframe or JS to embed Rails in 3rd party sites?
body: <p>I want to create embedable widgets for a Rails app, that would allow users to interact with the app from external websites.</p>
  
  <p>I was all set to try using iframes to achieve this. But then I found a couple of forum responses that seemed to suggested iframes are not the best way to achieve this, and instead to use JS to embed HTML elements. This surprised me - I thought iframes would be a clear winner simply because of the isolation of CSS and scripts.</p>
  
  <p>So, what is the best way to embed (limited) app functionality in a third party website. This interaction will be limited to login and a single simple form. Is iframes of JS embed the best way to go? And as a side question, are there security issues to be aware of with either approach?</p>
