# [[HTML Iframes]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
An HTML iframe (`<iframe>`) is an inline frame that embeds another HTML document inside the current page. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`<iframe>` embeds a document** — it specifies an inline frame used to embed another document within the current HTML document. [S1]
- **`src` attribute** — defines the URL of the page to embed. [S1]
- **`title` attribute** — it is good practice to always include a `title`; screen readers use it to read out what the iframe content is. [S1]
- **Sizing** — `height` and `width` attributes (in pixels) set the iframe size; CSS `style` can be used instead. [S1]
- **Border control** — use `style="border:none;"` to remove the default border, or a CSS `border` value to customize it. [S1]
- **Link target** — naming an iframe (`name="..."`) lets a link target it so the linked page loads inside the iframe. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Embed pattern** — `<iframe src="url" title="description"></iframe>` to place an external/internal page inside the current one. [S1]
- **Styling pattern** — control size and border with either HTML attributes (`height`/`width`) or inline CSS (`style`). [S1]
- **Named-target pattern** — give the iframe a `name`, then point a link's `target` at that name to load content into the frame. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
**HTML Iframes.** An HTML iframe is used to display a web page within a web page. The HTML `<iframe>` tag specifies an inline frame. An inline frame is used to embed another document within the current HTML document. [S1]

**Iframe Syntax.** [S1]
```html
<iframe src="url" title="description"></iframe>
```

> **Tip:** It is a good practice to always include a `title` attribute for the `<iframe>`. This is used by screen readers to read out what the content of the iframe is. [S1]

**Iframe — Set Height and Width.** Use the `height` and `width` attributes to specify the size of the iframe. The attribute values are specified in pixels by default, but they can also be in percent (like "80%"). [S1]
```html
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" height="200" width="300" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>
```
Or you can use the CSS `height` and `width` properties: [S1]
```html
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="height:200px;width:300px;" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>
```

**Iframe — Remove the Border.** By default, an iframe has a border around it. To remove the border, add the `style` attribute and use the CSS `border` property: [S1]
```html
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="border:none;" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>
```
With CSS, you can also change the size, style, and color of the iframe's border: [S1]
```html
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" style="border:2px solid red;" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>
```

**Iframe — Target for a Link.** An iframe can be used as the target frame for a link. The `target` attribute of the link must refer to the `name` attribute of the iframe. [S1]
```html
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" name="iframe_a" title="Iframe Example"></iframe>

<p><a href="https://www.w3schools.com" target="iframe_a">W3Schools.com</a></p>
```

**Chapter Summary.** [S1]
- The HTML `<iframe>` tag specifies an inline frame.
- The `src` attribute defines the URL of the page to embed.
- Always include a `title` attribute (for screen readers).
- The `height` and `width` attributes specify the size of the iframe.
- Use `border:none;` to remove the border around the iframe.
