I’ve developed a tabbed UI dashboard in Next.js and React, where each new menu item opens in a new tab inside the dashboard panel. I can manage the tab mount state without issues.

However, I’m facing a problem with my <iframe> component: whenever I switch tabs and the component re-renders, the <iframe> reloads its URL. I want the <iframe> to retain its state and not reload when the tab changes or the component re-renders.

How can I prevent the <iframe> from reloading in this scenario?

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community

function Dashboard() {
  const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState('tab1');
  
  return (
    <div>
      <TabNavigation activeTab={activeTab} onTabChange={setActiveTab} />  
      <iframe 
        src="your-url"
        style={{ 
          display: activeTab === 'iframe-tab' ? 'block' : 'none',
          width: '100%',
          height: '500px'
        }}
      /> 
      {activeTab === 'other-tab' && <OtherTabContent />}
    </div>
  );
}
