An iframe
(Inline Frame) in HTML is used to embed another HTML document within the current document. This can be useful for displaying content from another website, such as videos, maps, or documents. Here' how you can use it:
The basic syntax of an iframe
is:
src
: Specifies the URL of the page to embed.
width
and height
: Define the dimensions of the iframe.
Here' an example of embedding a YouTube video using an iframe
:
In this example, replace VIDEO_ID
with the actual ID of the YouTube video you want to embed.
Here are some additional attributes you might find useful:
frameborder
: Specifies whether or not to display a border around the iframe (value can be 0
or 1
).
allowfullscreen
: Allows the iframe to be displayed in fullscreen mode.
sandbox
: Provides an extra layer of security by restricting what the embedded content can do (e.g., allow-scripts
, allow-forms
).
name
: Specifies a name for the iframe. This can be used as the target attribute for links or forms.
allow
: Allows specifying what features are allowed in the iframe (e.g., autoplay
, camera
, microphone
).
Here' an example with more attributes:
In this example, the allow
attribute is used to specify what features are allowed in the iframe.
Using iframes can be very powerful, but be aware of the potential security and performance implications, especially when embedding content from third-party websites.
