Remarks
The IFRAME element functions as a document within a document, or like a floating FRAME. The frames collection provides access to the contents of an IFRAME. Use the frames collection to read or write to elements contained in an IFRAME. For example, the syntax for accessing the backgroundColor style of the BODY object in an IFRAME is:
sColor = document.frames("sFrameName").document.body.style.backgroundColor;You can access the IFRAME object's properties, but not its contents, through the object model of the page where the IFRAME object resides. For example, the syntax for accessing the border style of the IFRAME object is:
sBorderValue = document.all.oFrame.style.border;The IFRAME element is a block element and requires a closing tag.
This element is available in HTML and script as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0.
