Sometimes it can be useful to source content from an external location and integrate it within a Wicket Page. This panel allows external content to be injected into the body of the tag this panel is bound to on the page.
Note: you have to be careful of the injected markup to make sure that it is balanced and does not contain unclosed tags (or too many close tags) as this will mess up the browser DOM expecially in ModalWindow's.
