One doubt about IFrame..

Question

I had been going through Iframe related questions and got stuck with this. PLease clear this out ..

They break the one-document-per-URL paradigm, which is essential for the proper functioning of the web (think bookmarks, deep-links, search engines, ...).

Moreover, if I ask u to tell me the difference between Iframes and Frames, what is teh easiest way to explain it????

Answer 1

Frame allows you to display multiple documents on page.

They all have distinct URLs which are hidden from you. So, you cannot bookmark them separately.

Answer 2

An iframe is a frame in an otherwise normal document.

Normal frames are placed in a document which consists entirely of frames (plus, hopefully, some fallback content from user agents that don't support them).
