Difference between <href> and <iframe>:

Question

The difference between <href> and <iframe> is not big. When you use href, then u must type text. With href you are making a hyperlink and when someone like me, click on the text, the program will redirect you in new page, or in the same (it depends on what you did have choosen). And iframe simply shows the website you have written betweeb the <iframe> brackets in the page where you are now. Page in Page. You must not click anything, because you will be able to see the website in the website.

Answer 1

'href' is an attribute specific to some tags (not only <a> tag element, but also <link> for example)...
'href' and <iframe> are not comparable, but you can differenciate 'href' and 'src' attributes (last is not only specific to <iframe> but also used in <img> for example), or even differenciate <a> and <iframe> (first provide a clickable hyperlink -- anchor -- to load another ressource, second embed the loaded ressource in the document)...

Thank You?

I must ask, is href a tag or an attribute because I always thought it was an attribute

Actually there is a rather distinct difference. href is an attribute specific to the <a> element which creates a hyperlink, the href attribute specifies the anchorage point associated with the element.
Meanwhile the <iframe> element embedds another document in your html document, this can be used in several different ways for example embedding a map into your web side.

Answer 5

Here we go:

<a href = "http://www.sololearn.com"><br />
Link <a/>

and

<iframe src="http://www.sololearn.com">
<iframe>

This is an example for using href and iframe. Try it on the playground and you will see the difference. For the iframe also is not necessary to fill in text between the brackets, because it will be behind the website and you can't see it.

Answer 6

You have right. But I see many people, that can't see difference between href and iframe. That's why i did write this comment here. I am learning HTML since yesterday and I am still learning. Although I am trying to be helpful. :)
