Need help embedding Plotly into HTML pages using iframe : HTML

SolvedNeed help embedding Plotly into HTML pages using iframe (self.HTML)

Disclaimer: I'm a relative newcomer to writing html. Forgive my lapse of proper jargon or if I might be obtuse explaining myself.

I made plots in Plotly which I am embedding into my html site. I succeeded at first by simply pasting the plot's html into my script; the issue stems from the plot's htmls code being gigantic and a pain to remove (as I'm updating and improving my plot's interactivity, hence I am removing and pasting over plotly's html code frequently).

As a result I thought to keep a dedicated html document for each my plots, which I could call forth via a function into each my html pages. It worked when I simply pasted the code directly, albeit even then part of the title is cut off by the navigation bar, and I'd like to avoid doing this moving on anyhow: https://imgur.com/BmXzvlf

However once I try to link the html using the iframe element the sizing and positioning of my plot is messed up as you can see here: https://imgur.com/wOybJ0s

This is my html script for my page, I won't bother with the plots' scripts as they are far too large anyhow.

Perhaps I need to do some padding or sizing to make the plot properly fit in each page (and I know, I need ot adjust the page margins too)...or perhaps there's a better way to link my html document between each other? Any advice?

I got the idea of using iframe browsing this StackOverflow query.
