Why is it that some sites work as embedded pages in Acumatica (such as bing.com), while other sites do not work (such as yahoo.com)?
Solved
Dashboard: links to external sites using the embedded page DB widget
Best answer by Doug Johnson
The X-Frame-Options setting on the external site will determine whether or not you can show the site inside your Acumatica dashboard.
The target site X-Frame-Options can specify values such as DENY (cannot be included in iframe or object tag), SAMEORIGIN (needs to be part of the same domain), ALLOW FROM (explicitly define sites that can display it). If the X-Frame-Options is not present, then you can display the site.
For example: Acumatica.com is set to SAMEORIGIN so you cannot add that to your dashboard. Bing.com does not have an X-Frame-Option specified so you can include it.
I cannot speculate why some sites allow this and others do not.
