Iframes


Well, an Iframe is like putting a html page into another html page. So you can have your main website and in the corner you can have another website like Google, or anything you want.

If you look at the image. You see the website surrounded by a yellow border? Yeah, that's your Iframe. The rest of the page is your main page.

Some reasons why you would like to use an Iframe is so that you can show people other websites without them actually leaving yours.
People tend to also put polls or pictures in Iframes.

Disadvantages of using an Iframe is that you can't take off the scroll bar because, well, you wouldn't see the rest of the page. You can't shrink the page in the Iframe to fit the specific height and width you put. Also search engines can't detect what you put in the Iframe, so if you try searching what you have in an Iframe from Google, it wont find it.

Well hopefull you guys understand more about Iframes. That's about all I can tell you, so I'm going to peace out.
