In HTML the iframe element represents a nested browsing context, effectively embedding another HTML page into the current page.

Description

In HTML 4.01, a document may contain a head and a body or a head and a frameset, but not both a body and a frameset. However, an iframe can be used within a normal document body.

Each browsing context has its own session history and active document.

The browsing context that contains the embedded content is called the parent browsing context.

The top-level browsing context (which has no parent) is typically the browser window.
