An inline frame or a floating frame, is a frame inserted within a block of text.
The IFRAME element allows authors to insert a frame
within a block of text, and it works much like inserting an object via
the OBJECT element.
The following example will place an inline frame on a page surrounded by a border. For browsers, that does not support inline frames, a short message will be displayed:
<IFRAME src="data.htm" width="400" height="400" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1"> Your user agent does not support inline frames. You can visit <A HREF="data.htm">the related document</A> </IFRAME>
Please note that, inline frames is currently only supported in
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+, and inline frames cannot be resized
(ie. does not take the noresize attribute).
You can read more about floating frames in the article: HTML #4 - Advanced Page Layout, which has a very good chapter on floating frames.
