WOIFrame Component

 The WOIFrame component inserts an IFRAME tag into your page. This tag is a container to create an in-line or floating frame: a frame in which the contents of another HTML document can be seen. The difference between an IFRAME and a normal frame is that the floating frame can be seen inside a document and is treated as a part of the document. This means that when you scroll through the page the frame will scroll with it. IFRAME tags are supported by Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

WOIFrame has three special mutually-exclusive attributes, all of which are identical to WOFrame:
WOIFrame
Attribute Description
src External source that will supply the content for this frame.
pageName Name of a WebObjects component that will supply the content for this frame.
value Method that will supply the content for this frame.

The WOIFrame component's remaining attributes are simply passed through to the IFRAME:
WOIFrame
Attribute Description
frameborder Specifies whether or not a border should be displayed for the frame.
height Specify the height of the frame to the browser, either as a number of pixels or as a percentage of the current screen height.
marginheight An optional attribute that controls the vertical margins for the frame (margins are specified in pixels).
marginwidth An optional attribute that controls the horizontal margins for the frame (margins are specified in pixels).
name An optional argument that assigns a name to a frame so it can be targeted by links in other documents or, more commonly, from other frames in the same document.
scrolling Specifies whether or not the frame should have a scrollbar. Optional.
width Specifies the height of the frame to the browser, either as a number of pixels or as a percentage of the current screen height.
