Specification

DOM Level 2 -- HTMLFrameElement

IFRAME

The IFRAME element is very much like a FRAME. The difference is that an IFRAME can be inserted in-line, hence the name IFRAME. Regular FRAME elements take up as much space as they can (given the dimensions of the FRAMESET, the presence of other frames, and the confines of the document itself). But iframes can be aligned in their containing elements, given a specific height and width, etc.

Properties

align
Specifies how the IFRAME is to be aligned in the containing element.
contentDocument

The contentDocument property returns the document the frame contains, if any.

contentWindow

The contentWindow property returns the window parent of the iframe.

frameBorder
frameBorder gets/sets the border around the current IFRAME.
longDesc
The longDesc property points to a long description of the current iframe.
marginHeight
Gets/sets the height of the frame's margin in pixels.
marginWidth
Gets/sets the width of the frame's margin in pixels.
name
The name of the IFRAME element.
scrolling

The scrolling property specifies whether the current frame should provide scrollbars or not.

src
The src property provides a url to load as content into the current frame.
