iFrames

[Jacob Kid Mania Creator]

Does anyone use iFrames? They seem to be a hacker's dream.

No, I don't use them on my site. I can block iFrames with adblock anyways, as that's where many ads like to show up

I use them in one page to show an other page from an other site

I have used them, but it is not so fantastic,
you can better use include with php

I used them when I first started designing (when I was about eleven or twelve... ergh) because they were the only way to make a website on express page... now I know better.

Now I really dislike them. When people use them, they tend to never display right, and you get too much content squished into a little box, which always requires excessive scrolling in one direction or another. Not to mention the technical problems and security issues. I'm just not a fan.

My friend recently redesigned my website and he found one page where the code was so messy that he didn't bother cleaning it up and just put the original page in a iframe. :biggrin:

Mitch Is Right. I Use The PHP Command

<? include("filename.php") ?>

My Friend Just got Kicked Out Of Google, Because He iFramed A Diffrent Domain, And Googlebot Thought It Was A Virus

I utilize a blend of php and javascript in almost everything I create nowadays. The only use for an iframe would be for an external advert.

Like everyone else said, PHP+CSS+Javascript is a way better way to design. Personally I view IFrames as unprofessional and kind of ugly to look at.

I use iFrames for menus.
I would use JavaScript, but it is fiddly and more browsers support iFrames than JavaScript.
For example, you have a 100 page website and you want the same menu in all of the pages. You edit the menu every day. So instead of strawling through loads of code, you use an iFrame. Much easier.
But no, I don't like iFrames in general, because I don't find them easy to use.

No I don't. They just go all wrong when I use them.

You're wrong. Both Netscape and Opera are compatible with IFrames. I don't know where you got the idea they weren't.

That is what I heard. Oh wait... It came from a very unrelible source
