Inline Frame Example

The inline frame is to the right. It was positioned there by using the align attribute of the <iframe> tag.

By default, the inline area is 150 pixels high and 300 pixels wide. These values can be changed, however, by using the the height and width attributes within the <iframe> tag.

The title attribute of the <iframe> tag is used to describe the inline frame for improved accessibility.

The name attribute is used so that the inline frame can be targeted by links. If scroll bars are necessary to display all the content, they will be added unless you specify the scrolling attribute with a value of "no." A value of "yes" means that they scroll bars are always present. The default is "auto" which means that scroll bars appear when they are needed. For an example, try this:
View a poem by Robert Frost. The poem that displays is actually a Web page that displays in the inline frame. We can also make the poem display in this window (check out the source code to see how this is done).

You can also view Some Advice to Girls by Mark Twain in the inline frame as well.

View the source code for this page and notice that the <iframe> tag is a container tag. If the browser does not support inline frames, any content you place between the tags will be displayed.
