Embed Another HTML Document
Description
The iframe element embeds another HTML document within the existing one.
It has local attribute:src, srcdoc, name, width, height, sandbox, seamless.
The sandbox and seamless attributes are new in HTML5.
The longdesc, align, allowtransparency, frameborder, marginheight, marginwidth,
and scrolling attributes are obsolete.
Example
The following code shows how the iframe element can be used.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<a href="http://java2s.com" target="myframe">Tutorial</a>
<a href="http://java2s.com" target="myframe">Tutorial</a>
<iframe name="myframe" width="300" height="300"> </iframe>
</body><!-- ww w.ja va 2 s.c o m-->
</html>
Note
An iframe with a name attribute value of myframe is created.
This creates a browsing context called myframe.
Then this browsing context is used in the target attribute of other elements-specifically, a, form, button, input, and base.
a element to create a pair of hyperlinks which will
load the URLs specified in their href attributes into the iframe.
The width and height attributes specify the size in pixels. The src attribute specifies a URL that should be loaded and displayed in the iframe initially.
The srcdoc attribute allows you to define an HTML document to display inline.
The seamless attribute sets the browser to display the iframe as if they were an integral part of the main HTML document.
Otherwise a border is applied by default and a scrollbar is present if the content is larger than the width and height attributes.
