The iFrame Tag

I have mixed feelings about the use of <iframe>.

Whenever I have seen it used in the past more often than not it appeared to be somewhat a "shortcut" on the part of the web developer.
This and the use of an iframe technique to forward an un-populated domain name.

W3C suggests the use of an iframe to include YouTube videos on your webpages.

Mozilla say:

The HTML Inline Frame element (<iframe>) represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one.

I also have a discussion page on the <FRAME>, although this is not supported in HTML5

Frameset Forwarding

This is often offered by a Domain Registrar for free if you don't subscribe to a hosting package.
