Why an iframe does not load when embedded into a Web App page?

Question

I tried to load this html code onto a Google script:

<iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com"></iframe>

saved the file with the name "page" then used this in the Google script:

function doGet() { return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('page'); }

It views the iframe, but with no content. Am I missing something here?

I don't think there was anything wrong with the HTML code, so I'm guessing you're right. But what if I add an iframe gadget to a google sites and let a script handle it using the sites API (getHtmlContent and setHtmlContent), is it valid?

That would work. The key is that you can't show an iframe inside the script's own content.
