What Is Inline Frame (IFrame)?
Do you know the feeling. You're browsing a website, and you come across a link that's just too good to resist. You click it, but instead of going to another site, you get pulled into the current page—and now you're trapped. But don't worry! There's a way to escape. Just use the Inline Frame (IFrame) element, and you'll be accessible in no time. To make an Inline Frame, you must first check if the iframe tag is used. This tag requires a few pieces of information to be displayed correctly. The attributes needed for an IFrame include id, src, and frame border. The id attribute is a name that can use to reference the IFrame from other HTML documents. The src attribute is used to specify the URL of the HTML document that will display in the IFrame. The frame border attribute determines whether a border is displayed around the Inline Frame. An IFrame (or inline frame) is an HTML element that allows you to embed a web page, usually another website, within your own. They're often used in advertisements and other marketing materials but can also be instrumental in general use. IFrames have scrollbars, so if you want to include multiple websites on one page, you don't have to worry about them overlapping or having to scroll back and forth between them. In addition to being able to load content from another URL, they can also be used as a link target. So if someone clicks on an IFrame link in your document, they'll automatically be taken to the new site rather than redirected there. Inline frames can also be printed by default (although this may vary depending on the browser). And last but not least, inline frames contain their source code—you can see exactly how they were built and what's happening behind the scenes!
