In today's world of Web 2.0, is it still acceptable to use iFrames (Inline Frames) in web design?

Specifically for parts of websites that are consistent in every page (such as a banner that has news info and stuff), and needs to be updated often, is it still o.k. to use iframes? Or are iframes almost obsolete and pointless in the world of Web 2.0?

In today's world of Web 2.0, is it still acceptable to use iFrames (Inline Frames) in web design?
Not only is is acceptable, it's elemental. Many Web 2.0 apps use iframes to do a variety of things -- allow you to securely sign in to a bank account, for example, without having to have the whole page encrypted; provide ads (Look at this site's code and you'll see all sorts of ads in iframes); etc., etc.





You could, in theory, do away with iframes in a number of cases, but using an iframe has certain advantages over populating a DIV's innerhtml -- in terms of performance, user experience, etc.
Reply:as long as it looks good and fits and looks like it is apart of your site.





No one gives a damn (not to be rude but it is true)





Hope this helps
