its basically what I frame stands for, an internal frame. Its a frame inside another frame, u use it like this:



<iframe src=page.html width=800 height=300 scrolling=auto frameborder=1></Iframe>


naturally u can edit all the variables(src, width, height, scrolling, border etc) to what ever you wish as long as its compatible with the Iframe tag.

well as far as I know it is Internal Frame. Inset and Inline dont make much sence to me because the frame is internal to the main frame.

No butt-man. :p It's inline, or in-line, whatever the preferred spelling is.

Inline as opposed to block. iframe is an inline element, not a block element.

I got this mail from bravenet:

Inline frames, also known as IFrames, are created with the <IFRAME> tag, which is supported by Explorer 3.2 and up, as well as Netscape 4.0 or better. Inline frames differ from the regular <Frame> tag, as we simply embed them right into an HTML page. No frameset or index pages are required.

Here is an example of how to use a simple IFRAME:
<IFRAME SRC="sample.html"></IFRAME>

All we will do place the IFrame into a page, bearing the source of the actual file. This method is handy if you want to give people remote files to include on their site, sourcing a file to yours.

So in our example, an HTML page carrying our IFRAME might look like this:

<HTML>
<BODY>
Our page ... text, etc ... and now, here comes the IFRAME!
<IFRAME SRC="sample.html"></IFRAME>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The IFRAME Tag does carry some specific attributes to help you control the display. Here is a quick, but limited reference:

ALIGN — Offset to other elements, much like the Image Tag.

BORDER — The default is 0 (pixels)

HEIGHT / WIDTH — (pixels or %)

HSPACE / VSPACE — As with Images, this attribute specifies a pixel size for horizontal or vertical margins around the IFRAME (external margin)

MARGINHEIGHT / MARGINWIDTH — Internal margin in pixels

SCROLLING — If set to "AUTO," the browser determines whether scrollbars are necessary; otherwise, specify either "YES" or "NO"




Does this frame has to in another frame??Can't I just use this tag as a normal frame (newbie,sorry)

Inline frame is not support by Netscape 4.xxx

They are wrong. Netscape4x does not support iframe.

The whole point is that you don't need a framset at all. You can put it almost anywhere in the page. Sometimes it's called "floating frame" and that describes it well. Try it!
