Understanding Inline Frames
An inline frame is an HTML object (the iframe tag) that embeds a document inside
a HTML document. The embedded document will be displayed in a subwindow of
the browser’s section.
Thus, you may open new pages inside the page of your site. You can set the source
file that will be displayed on the inline frame to be another page of your site, or
even a page from another website.
Inline frames are most commonly used to insert content from another website into
the current page. For example, on a page of your website, you can place an
advertisement for products available on another website:
As you see, the content from www.netobjects.com is being displayed in an inline
frame on a page of a different website. Since the entire content of the page does not
fit inside the inline frame, a scrollbar is available to help the visitor view the
content.
The page linked to an inline frame will not be available for the user to save locally,
view in its own window, or know its URL, as regular links permit.
