iframe

Page within page

An iframe (inline frame) is an HTML element that embeds one webpage inside another, creating a window within a page that displays external content.

Iframes allow sites to include videos, maps, advertisements, or third-party widgets without redirecting users: The YouTube player loads in an iframe.

Security restrictions limit what embedded content can access from the parent page.
