You also can embed Web pages using inline frames with the
iframe
element
<iframe src=”
url
” width=”
value
” height=”
value
”>
alternate content
</iframe>
where
alternate content
is the content that is displayed for browsers that don't
support inline frames. Thus, the following
iframe
element displays the content of the
Royal Wedding
page at the IMDB Web site in a frame that is 400 pixels wide and
200 pixels high:
<iframe src=”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043983/”
width=”400” height=”200”>
</iframe>
Browsers support either the
object
element or the
iframe
element for embedded
Web pages. The
iframe
element is more commonly used on the Web; but if you are
writing your code in compliance with the strict application of XHTML, you should use
the
object
element.
