What is the difference between a FRAME and an IFRAME?<br />
<br />
I have heard references to both, but they seem to be slightly different.<!--content-->Frames is a way of showing more than one page at a time, so in ref to your post<br />
<br />
FRAME this is when a page is made using more than one page two or three is the norm and is "defined" with a page that has a frameset on it. for example <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.indianridgeflorida.com">www.indianridgeflorida.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
IFRAME This is when you have a page cut into another page within a box, and is controled by commands in the page. for example <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/iframescroll.htm">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... scroll.htm</a><!-- m --> (best i could find)<!--content-->I see now, thanks<!--content-->Oh I like that Iframe - that's neat - thanks for the link! It went in my tutorials folder - now I just hope I can live long enough to learn all I want to! :rolleyes:<!--content-->You might want to learn about entering in alternate text for people with older browsers...lots of them just downright won't read them, so your user is left with nothing there.<!--content-->Originally posted by justjeni <br />

Excellent point, you two -thanks! I'll make note of that. I'm not using it yet, but have a couple ways I would like to and it will be very good to know this beforehand for a change! <br />
<br />
Thanks again.<!--content-->
