HTML Iframes
An HTML iframe is used to display a web page within a web page.
HTML Iframe Syntax
The HTML <iframe>
tag specifies an
inline frame.
An inline frame is used to embed another document within the current HTML document.
Syntax
<iframe src="url" title="description"></iframe>
Tip: It is a good practice to always include a
title
attribute for the <iframe>
.
This is used by screen readers to read out what the content of the iframe is.
Iframe - Set Height and Width
Use the height
and width
attributes to specify the
size of the iframe.
The height and width are specified in pixels by default:
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" height="200" width="300"
title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

Or you can add the style
attribute and use
the CSS height
and width
properties:
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="height:200px;width:300px;"
title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

Iframe - Remove the Border
By default, an iframe has a border around it.
To remove the border, add the style
attribute and use the CSS
border
property:
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="border:none;"
title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

With CSS, you can also change the size, style and color of the iframe's border:
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="border:2px solid red;"
title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

Iframe - Target for a Link
An iframe can be used as the target frame for a link.
The target
attribute
of the link must refer to the name
attribute of the iframe:
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" name="iframe_a" title="Iframe
Example"></iframe>
<p><a href="https://www.w3schools.com" target="iframe_a">W3Schools.com</a></p>
