iframe Tutorial

The iFrame is a nifty addition to an interactive web page design

What's an iframe?

An iFRAME, or "inline frame" is basically a floating frame (cell) which sits within a web document.

It's actual content is on another web document, and you position it within the floating frame according to the attributes (L x W, margin size etc.) you set.

The cell content is scrollable so you can fit a lot more content into smaller areas without ruining your table-based layouts.

To create an IFRAME on your page ........

1 > create a new HTML file and place a table in it.

2 > place your cursor in the cell where you want the iframe and then switch to CODE view

3 > paste ( control V) the following code

(you can cut and paste the above code in your code view you may edit the code before or after the insertion)
you can edit the attributes such as height width border etc.

this code will be inserted in ...
<BODY><table> <tr> <td> code shown below goes in here </td></tr></table></BODY> HTML tags

4 > save this document as "iframe.html"

5 > next, create another HTML file and fill with your text and images (content)
then save it as iframecontent.html

This will place iframecontent.html content inside the floating frame, within iframe.html page

CODE Attribute List: (what the code means)
