Hello,  
I got a code snippet  
script src="[https://xxxx.yyyy.com/zzz](https://xxxx.yyyy.com/zzz)"\>\</script  
which produces a weather widget with a nice diagram.  
I would like to display this diagram in my dashboard.  
I have tried to use a function node but without success.  
Do you have a recommendation for an approach?  
Kind regards  
Juergen

You should be able to include a script inside a template node, eg

Thank you!  
This seems to be an appropriate solution but the widget/diagram is not visible in the dashboard.  
Any ideas?

</div>

to show an external page you have to use iFrame

```auto
<template>
    <iframe :src="msg.payload" width="100%" height="200" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</template>

```

It will be something in that direction.

However, there must be more to it than only including a script.  
You will need some html element to display whatever the script is outputting.

Care to share the link to the script /snippet ?

Here is the code snippet (brackets replaced by hash, https replaced by xxxxx):

```auto
<script src="https://wxblox.aerisapi.com/free/js/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImZ1bGwtd2lkZSIsImxvYyI6InB3c191d2ptMSIsIm1ldHJpYyI6dHJ1ZSwidGhlbWUiOiJsaWdodCIsImNvbG9ycyI6eyJiYXNlIjp7fSwiYWx0Ijp7fSwiYWNjZW50Ijp7fX0sImlhdCI6MTczMzE2ODYxMX0.TJLAWDaWIALL2bxdJkgD8x9M0C-V-CUqwn9rX19PaKY"></script>

```

Thanks and kind regards
