Syntax
Description
As the
iframe is ‘free-floating’, and not governed by the
height or width of the parent window (as normal frames
inside a frameset are), you need to let the browser
know how high it should be on the page (if no
height is specified, the browser will apply of
around 150 pixels). Note that you can also use CSS to set the height of
the iframe, which is the preferred method for styling
this element.
Example
The iframe's
height set to 200 pixels
<iframe src="iframe-content.html" height="200" width="200" frameborder="1"> <p>Your browser does not support iframes. That kinda sucks, eh?</p> </iframe>
Value
A number representing the height of
the iframe in pixels or a
percentage.
