One last frame command. This is the <IFRAME>
command. This is a cool command that will put a "floating" frame on your page.
The downside to this is that it can only be viewed with IE 4.0 or later (Netscape 5.0 is expected to have iframe support). So, if you have a
bunch of Netscape or Opera, etc. users then you shouldn't put anything too important in
this frame. The other browsers will ignore the frame entirely.
The proper use of this command is like this:
<IFRAME
SRC="http://www.tucows.com" WIDTH=300
HEIGHT=250></IFRAME>
Put that line in the <BODY>
of your page. It will create a cool looking frame.
You can position this frame wherever you want.
Well, that is all for the tutorial. Before we go, here is a couple of quick tips.
First, try not to put too many frames on one page. It looks bad and is confusing for
the user.
Secondly, remember that older browsers can't view frames at all. Keep that in mind when
trying to reach your audience.
