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 wide it should be on the page (if no width
is specified, the browser will apply a value of around 300 pixels). Note
that you can also use CSS to set the width of the
iframe, which is the preferred method for styling this
element.
Example
The iframe's
width set to 400 pixels
<iframe src="iframe-content.html" width="400" height="200" frameborder="1"> <p>Your browser does not support iframes. That kinda sucks, eh?</p> </iframe>
Value
A number representing the width of
the iframe in pixels or as a
percentage.
