External Pages and target

You can use an iframe to display content from another webpage by specifying the src attribute in the iframe tag. For example, to display the content of google.com on your webpage, you would use the following code:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com" width="800" height="600"></iframe>

The width and height attributes control the size of the iframe. You can adjust these values to fit the embedded content.

You can also control where the iframe's content will open using the target attribute. This is especially useful when you want to keep the user on your site. For example, if you want the content to open in a new tab, you can set target="_blank".

<iframe src="https://www.google.com" width="800" height="600" target="_blank"></iframe>

If you want to embed content that's not on your website, you need to make sure the external website allows it. You can also check the website's documentation for how to embed its content using iframes.

YouTube Video

Embedding a YouTube video on your website is a very common use case for iframes. YouTube provides an easy way to get the iframe code for your videos. Simply go to the video you want to embed and click on the "Share" button. Then, click on the "Embed" option, and you will be presented with the iframe code that you can paste into your website. Below is an example of how to embed a YouTube video.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The iframe code includes various attributes to control the video's appearance and functionality. You can change the width and height attributes to adjust the size of the video, and you can also add attributes such as frameborder, allowfullscreen, and allow to customize the video's behavior.

It is important to note that YouTube (and other video hosting sites) often have restrictions on the content and features that can be included in iframes. For example, you may not be able to autoplay a video or control its playback speed using an iframe. Be sure to review the platform's documentation for any specific rules.
