using iframes in your website
An iframe is a widget in your web-design software. There are many different web-design software programs in use and we can’t cover them all. If your particular program isn’t listed below you’ll have to contact customer service for your particular program. Oftentimes the discussion evolves around “Inserting forms”. The same process is used to insert any html code. The keywords you’ll need to use when contacting customer service are: iframe, html code and embed.
