What is an IFrame?

Answer:

An Inline Frame, more commonly known as an “IFrame,” is a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) element that allows for content from an outside source to appear on your dealership’s web page. While an IFrame does act like an inline image, this element can actually be configured with its own scrollbar that operates independently of the primary page’s scrollbar.  

For your dealership, the best way to approach the usage of IFrames is by thinking of these elements as “windows” to other sites. With these windows offering up the ability to view content on other pages, Remora’s team of site design experts can incorporate forms and other documents from third-party vendors directly onto your site. The following image is an example of a daily special form from an outside page being framed-in via IFrame functionality onto a dealership’s website.

Making use of this element ensures the user currently on your page is not redirected or forced to leave your dealership’s website to view or interact with a particular document, form, or piece of content.
