HTML Tutorials: Iframes

You can use iframe to fit a whole lot of content in one little space. They are often used in text heavy areas like news feeds and content areas of a site.

Have you ever wondered how to make inset frames (iframes) like the news section on Spoono's main page? Well it's pretty simple. All you have to do is know how to use the <iframe> tag. Using iframes gives you all the benefits of frames and very few of the downsides.

Here is the code to make the following iframe:

Type error message for Netscape 4 and older browsers here.

As you can see, the src attribute tells the iframe what web page to display inside the iframe. The name attribute isn't always necessary, but can be used if you have links outside the iframe that make changes to the content inside the iframe. The auto scrolling is always good to use. The height, width, and frameborder are self-explanatory. Make sure you don't forget them. The message that appears inside of the <iframe> tag is only viewable to archaic browsers, such as Netscape 4 which do not support iframes.

There you go, have some fun with it.
