iframe is used for creating an inline or floating frame. As most of know frames are mainly used to structure the page or for placing a menu bar on the side and so on. But iframe is used in a different context. That is in other words <iframe> is used to embed or insert content on a page of padding. This is done for several reasons. Say the content may be large enough that the user may wish to place it separately and scroll through it. There are many attributes present in <iframe> and some of the attributes used with <iframe> are namely:

Used for specifying the name of the frame.
