Sharing content is now a very common practice. Still, featuring another creator's content on your site can have legal ramifications, especially if you're hosting large volumes of file content like videos. It could also affect the performance of your site. Hence the need for inline frames or iframes. They provide a simple solution to such problems and elegantly accommodate additional content in HTML documents.
It is important to know what frames mean, how to use them with your WordPress site, and to know their structures.

What is the iframe tag used for?

Each website is mainly made up of a single HTML document. If you intend to embed other elements, then you should use a frame. It will allow you to embed documents, videos or images in your HTML document. Before, we used normal HTML frames, but now we prefer to use the iframe tag. In inlineframes, elements are presented in isolation. You can also scroll the inlineframe separately if the size of the content to be embedded requires it.

This is why inlineframes are generally used in the integration of objects from other websites into a site. Here are some examples of inlineframes: Youtube videos or Google Maps. You can also integrate social network plug-ins or specific applications as well as HTML documents thanks to iframes.

    The structure of iframes

    Inlineframes are created in the HTML code using the iframe tag. You must specify the following attributes in order to properly populate the tag. The src is the source of the content that needs to be integrated. You specify it as a URL. We then have width which represents the width of the frame, it is expressed in pixels or %. Height represents the length. It is also expressed in the same way as width. Regarding the name, it is the name of the frame in question. Sandbox associates the inlineframe with some security precautions. Finally, srcdoc contains HTML code that should be displayed in the iframe.

    To be able to create a proper iframe tag, you must use the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), which will allow you to have a page with a neat appearance. In most cases, only the frame can be laid out. When the content comes from another source, you will rarely have the opportunity to adapt this display for your own site. You can also integrate an iframe into a responsive web design, thanks to some CSS tricks.

    The benefits of iframes

    If you want to integrate elements from external sources on your own site, inlineframes will be very popular. Thanks to them, the user will not be sent to another domain and will continue to browse safely on your site. This will significantly increase usability. This integration can also have technical advantages. Indeed, the content of the iframe is loaded separately from the rest of the website. The Internet user can thus access the content even if all the elements of the page are not yet loaded.
