The frame will be very helpful when you are trying to divide the various pages that you have created into different sections. This means that for each section, you are going to place something that will help distinguish one section from the other.

The iFrame can be used when you want to embed the content of the website into the web page that you are using. This will be very useful in making sure that possible scripting issues can be avoided. Just remember that there are some reports stating that iFrames may cause some security risks so always use this with care.

The collection of frames is termed a frameset that is defined in a frameset document. The main attribute of using the frame is that the user can access more than one HTML document in the same browser window.

The iframe uses an HTML construction which permits another HTML document to be inserted into an HTML page. The iFrame is an inflexible size window frame that scrolls along with the rest of the page, and it exists without possessing a frameset defined.

The iFrame is usually a small box used to insert a small amount of text or comments in the center of a page, and these are also used for creating pull-down list of options set of choices or the horizontal menus on a web page. It also enables HTML documents with modified tools and instructions. A web designer can alter the user to reload the surrounding page.
