Question

I’m trying to create a page in ASP.NET MVC that has my site’s content in the top and another site’s content in the bottom. An example of what I mean can be see at http://freewebfiles.com/Site.aspx?url=http://www.soundfilesonline.com.

However, that site uses frameset and <frame> tags. And my understanding is that these constructs are now deprecated, if not simply obsolete.

So what is the recommended way to do this now, which pretty much means how should I do it in HTML5?

For added points, if I can get this working, does anyone know how to make the site that appears in the bottom frame the active site?

Answer 1

A <frame> is obsolete in HTML 5, but an <iframe> isn’t. You can put an iframe inside a carefully designed div to get more or less the same effect.
