HTML IFrames
You can define an inline frame with HTML tag <iframe>. The <iframe> tag is
not somehow related to <frameset> tag, instead, it can appear anywhere in
your document. The <iframe> tag defines a rectangular region within the
document in which the browser can display a separate document, including
scrollbars and borders.
The src attribute is used to specify the URL of the document that occupies the
inline frame.
Example
Following is the example to show how to use the <iframe>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Iframes</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Document content goes here...</p>
<iframe src="/html/menu.htm" width="555" height="200">
Sorry your browser does not support inline frames.
</iframe>
<p>Document content also go here...</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:

The <Iframe> Tag Attributes
Most of the attributes of the <iframe> tag, including name, class, frameborder,id, longdesc, marginheight, marginwidth, name, scrolling, style, and
title behave exactly like the corresponding attributes for the <frame> tag.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Src | This attribute is used to give the file name that should be loaded in the frame. Its value can be any URL. For example, src="/html/top_frame.htm" will load an HTML file available in html directory. |
| Name | This attribute allows you to give a name to a frame. It is used to indicate which frame a document should be loaded into. This is especially important when you want to create links in one frame that load pages into an another frame, in which case the second frame needs a name to identify itself as the target of the link. |
| frame border | This attribute specifies whether or not the borders of that frame are shown; it overrides the value given in the frameborder attribute on the <frameset> tag if one is given, and this can take values either 1 (yes) or 0 (no). |
| margin width | This attribute allows you to specify the width of the space between the left and right of the frame's borders and the frame's content. The value is given in pixels. For example marginwidth="10". |
| margin height | This attribute allows you to specify the height of the space between the top and bottom of the frame's borders and its contents. The value is given in pixels. For example marginheight="10". |
| nore size | By default you can resize any frame by clicking and dragging on the borders of a frame. The noresize attribute prevents a user from being able to resize the frame. For example noresize="noresize". |
| scrolling | This attribute controls the appearance of the scrollbars that appear on the frame. This takes values either "yes", "no" or "auto". For example scrolling="no" means it should not have scroll bars. |
| longdesc | This attribute allows you to provide a link to another page containing a long description of the contents of the frame. For example longdesc="framedescription.htm" |
