a iframe is bascically a mini website inside another one.

so you have a website that has a menu, and then the main content will be a iframe, which gets its source from another locatoin

if you mean the javascript challenges (cos this thread is in the javascript cat) then you dont need to know what an iframe is. and i recomend downloading firefox its pretty usefull on the javascript chalenges, especially where the right click is blocked and where there are frames ect.. like this one ;)

An Iframe is a window to another page, used with the <iframe> tag, with other attributes involved, such as <iframe value="2"> Not a real attrib, but you get the point. This is only used legitimately in HTML3/4 I believe, and XHTML has a few alternatives.
