Inline Frames

You can define an inline frame with the tag. The <iframe> tag is not used within a <frameset> tag. Instead, it appears anywhere in your document. The <iframe> tag defines a rectangular region within the document in which the browser displays a separate document, including scrollbars and borders.</p> <p>Use the <i>src</i> attribute with <iframe> to specify the URL of the document that occupies the inline frame.</p> <p>All of the other, optional attributes for the <iframe> tag, including <i>name, class, frameborder, id, longdesc, marginheight, marginwidth, name, scrolling, style, and title</i> behave exactly like the corresponding attributes for the <frame> tag.</p> <p>Following is the example to show how to use the <iframe>. This tag is used along with <body> tag:</p> <table cellpadding="5" class="src"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <pre> <body> ...other document content... <iframe src="/html/menu.htm" width="75" height="200" align="right"> Your browser does not support inline frames. To view this <a href="/html/menu.htm">document</a> correctly, you'll need a copy of Internet Explorer or the latest Netscape Navigator. ...subsequent document content...

The align attribute lets you control where the frame gets placed in line with the adjacent text or moved to the edge of the document, allowing text to flow around the frame.

For inline alignment, use top, middle, or bottom as the value of this attribute. The frame is aligned with the top, middle, or bottom of the adjacent text, respectively. To allow text to flow around the inline frame, use the left or right values for this attribute. The frame is moved to the left or right edge of the text flow, respectively, and the remaining content of the document is flowed around the frame. A value of center places the inline frame in the middle of the display, with text flowing above and below.
