Iframes

These are really useful HTML scrolling text boxes which are not the old frames and can be read by search engines.The iframe element creates an inline frame that contains another document. They can also act as a SSI feature as you can change them at will. Iframes can be very useful in making quick changes to navigation links for those without SSI access. If you have ever advertised something from Amazon all their product codes are in iframes

 

To use iframes on your own website, copy and paste the code below into your webpage where you want the iframe to appear:

 

Change the URL to your own site.

You change the width and height to suit and change what is here to your own web site page.

The hspace and vspace gives you the amount of white space around your iframe.

If you want a border around your Iframe change frameborder="0" to 1 or 2.

Set scrolling to either yes or no, depending on if you want a scrollbar on your Iframe or not.

 

Then make a new page and save it as myiframe.html and upload the page you have the iframe code on as well as the new page.

You can look at http://www.ozwebhub.com/affiltest.html to see how I have made a new page.

Here is an example of using an iframe for some ads. There are plenty of other uses though. You might like to see web design articles which also uses an iframe.
