"iFrame"
Definition — What is an inline Frame?
Inline frames, usually just called iFrames, also called floating frames, is an HTML tag that allows a completely different web page to load inside a frame that is displayed inside of the original web page. iFrames use HTML in order to display content as well as possibly executing JavaScript files and/or custom CSS styling.
For example, if you want to display a YouTube video in a post, the video that plays in the post is contained inside an iFrame that then displays the content (in this case, the video) directly from YouTube. The iFrame also contains information such as the height and width of the iFrame as well as any border and so on.
iFrames are the only type of frame allowed in HTML5.
ServiceDesk Plus allows you to easily embed popular kinds of content, including YouTube and Vimeo videos, directly into the application without having to understand or code any iFrames.
Note: Always be extremely careful when using an iFrame because they run code that is sourced from a third-party website which could be malicious or cause problems.
