iframes

Embedded webpage containers

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

Websites use iframes to embed videos, maps, advertisements, or third-party widgets without integrating that code directly into their own pages: The YouTube video loads in an iframe.

Iframes can pose security risks when they load untrusted content.
