IFRAME - Inline Frame. The IFRAME element defines an inline frame for the inclusion of external objects including other HTML documents. IFRAME provides similar functionality to OBJECT. One advantage of IFRAME is that it can act as a target for other links. However, OBJECT is included in HTML 4 Strict while IFRAME is not. IFRAME's SRC attribute provides the location of the frame content--typically an HTML document. The optional NAME attribute specifies the name of the inline frame, allowing links to target the frame.
The content of the IFRAME element is used as an alternative for browsers that are not configured to show or do not support inline frames. The LONGDESC attribute gives the URI of a long description of the frame's contents. An example follows: <IFRAME SRC="recipe.html" TITLE="The Famous Recipe"><! The WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes specify the dimensions of the inline frame in pixels or as a percentage of the available space. The ALIGN attribute specifies the alignment of the inline frame.
