Sharepoint inline frames

Inline frame is basically a website within a website.
You set an initial website for your inline frame, and then you can click on any links within that website, and only the contents of the inline frame will change.























Subsequently you can modify the inline frame initial webstite by changing the "src" field on your left hand side.

















Lastly, beware if you want to change the whole page (not just the content of the inline frame) by clicking on a link within the inline frame, you need to select "parent frame" in "target frame" under hyperlink properties (that is: right click on a hyperlink, then click on "hyperlink properties," then click on "target frame," and finally click on "parent frame."
If you don't understand what I am talking about, you will soon understand; after you run into a few problems with inline frames, everything will be clearer.

The "target frame" setup can be used for many other useful things.
Have fun, and good night.
