The term "IFrame" means Inline Frame. It can be used to include another page in your page. This will yield a small frame which shows the exact contents of the base.html. <iframe src="base.html"></iframe>

The IFrame can be resized using the width and height attributes, where the values are represented in pixels (HTML 4.01 allowed percentage values, but HTML 5 only allows values in CSS pixels). <iframe src="base.html" width="800" height="600"></iframe>

Normally a change of webpage within an Iframe is initiated from with the Iframe, for example, clicking a link inside the Ifame. However, it is possible to change an IFrame's content from outside the IFrame. You can use an anchor tag whose href attribute is set to the desired URL and whose target at...

The srcdoc attribute can be used (instead of the src attribute) to specify the exact contents of the iframe as a whole HTML document. This will yield an IFrame with the text "IFrames are cool!" <iframe srcdoc="<p>IFrames are cool!</p>"></iframe> If the...

# Length of a string $ var='12345' $ echo "${#var}" 5 Note that it's the length in number of characters which is not necessarily the same as the number of bytes (like in UTF-8 where most characters are encoded in more than one byte), nor the number of glyphs/graphemes (some of which ...

One of the most common tasks is retrieving an existing element from the DOM to manipulate. Most commonly these methods are executed on document, because it is the root node, but all these methods work on any HTML element in the tree. They will only return children from the node it is executed on. R...
