10.4.2 Creating a Site using Frames

The concept of creating a site using frames is discussed below.

Inline Frames

An inline frame is used to embed another document within the current HTML document. For
this it makes use of the <iframe> tag in HTML.

Notes To deal with browsers that do not support <iframe>, add a text between the opening
<iframe> tag and the closing </iframe> tag.

The <iframe> tag has the attributes listed below:
z Name: Specifies the name of an <iframe>
z Height: Specifies the height of an <iframe> in pixels
z Width: Specifies the width of an <iframe> in pixels

z Scrolling: Specifies whether or not to display scrollbars in an <iframe>. It takes in three
value- yes, no and auto.
z Frameborder: Specifies whether or not to display a border around an <iframe>. It contains
the values 0 or 1.
z Align: Specifies the alignment of an <iframe> according to surrounding elements. It can
take five values- left, right, top, middle and bottom.
