- iFrames, or Inline Frames, are an integral part of modern web development.
- They allow you to embed another HTML page within your current page.
- An iFrame is an HTML element that enables an inline frame for the embedding of external content.
- Essentially, you can load another web page within a designated area of current webpage.
iFrames offer a variety of use-cases:
- Content Isolation: iFrames allow you to isolate third-party content, which can improve security.
- Modularity: Easily embed external plugins, widgets, or content.
- Resource Separation: Content within an iFrame can load separately from the rest of the page.

Several attributes can enhance the functionality of an iFrame:
- src: Specifies the URL of the page to embed.
- height and width: Define the dimensions.
- frameborder: Indicates whether to display a border.
- scrolling: Controls the scrollbars.
- name: For targeting the iFrame in JavaScript.
