HTML Iframes Syntax

The syntax for creating an HTML iframes is as follows:

<iframe src="URL" frameborder="0" width="width" height="height"></iframe>

where:

  • src: specifies the URL of the page to be embedded in the iframe.
  • frameborder: sets whether or not to display a border around the iframe. A value of0means no border will be displayed.
  • width: sets the width of the iframe in pixels or as a percentage of the available space.
  • height: sets the height of the iframe in pixels or as a percentage of the available space.

Here is an example of how to use an iframe to embed a YouTube video:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0"></iframe>

In this example, the iframe will display a YouTube video with a width of 560 pixels and a height of 315 pixels, and there will be no border around the iframe. The src attribute serves to designate the URL of the embedded video within the context of web development.

 

Iframe – Set Height and Width

To set the height and width of an iframe in HTML, you can use theheightandwidthattributes. These attributes specify the size of the iframe in pixels or as a percentage of the available space.

Here is an example of how to set the height and width of an iframe:

<iframe src="https://www.example.com" width="500" height="300"></iframe>

HTML Iframes: In this example, thewidthattribute is set to500pixels and theheightattribute is set to300pixels. This will create an iframe that is500pixels wide and300pixels tall.

You can also use percentages to set the height and width of the iframe. For example:

<iframe src="https://www.example.com" width="50%" height="50%"></iframe>

In this example, thewidthattribute is set to50%of the available space and theheightattribute is also set to50%of the available space. This will create an iframe that is half the width and height of the available space.

Note that the actual size of the iframe may vary depending on the size of the content that is being displayed within it.

 

Iframe – Remove the Border

To remove the border of aniframeelement in HTML, you can use CSS to set theborderproperty tononeor0. Here’s an example:

<iframe src="https://www.example.com"></iframe>


iframe {
  border: none;
}

HTML Iframes: In this example, theborderproperty is set tonone, which removes the border from theiframeelement. You can also use the value0to achieve the same result:

iframe {
  border: 0;
}

These CSS rules can be placed in a separate style sheet or in astyleelement in the head section of your HTML document.

It’s important to note that removing the border from aniframeelement can make it difficult for users to identify the boundaries of the frame, which may cause usability issues. If you need to use aniframeelement and want to remove the border, consider adding a contrasting background color to theiframeto help differentiate it from other content on the page.

 

Iframe – Target for a Link

You can set the target for a link inside an iframe by using thetargetattribute on theatag.

Here is an example:

<iframe src="https://www.example.com"></iframe>

<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_parent">Link to example.com</a>

HTML Iframes: In this example, theiframedisplays the content ofhttps://www.example.com. The link with the text “Link to example.com” has atargetattribute set to_parent. This means that when the link is clicked, the content of the link will be loaded in the parent window (i.e., the window that contains the iframe), rather than inside the iframe.

You can also use other values for thetargetattribute to control where the link opens, such as_self,_blank, or the name of a specific frame. For example:

<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link to example.com (opens in a new tab)</a>

HTML Iframes: In this example, the link will open in a new tab or window when clicked, because thetargetattribute is set to_blank.
