Using iframes

anyone use them?

I have a client that's using this product that creates animated, talking characters that can interact with each other.

It's Basically kinda cool - but anyway, they are inserted into web page code using iframes and I've never heard of them before.

Anyone out there care to shorten my learning curve on this one?

W3Schools is a great resource for getting up to speed on standard web code that is nevertheless new to you.

Futher to this thread, I wanted to know the behaviour of Search engine crawlers/robots towards iframes. I had an impression that we should avoid use of iframes if we want a higher ranking.

Candid, you may be right but I sure can't prove it. Seems like a method of site design that has mixed reviews - it's the only way I know of to do SOME THINGS yet on the other hand it has it's negative too.

Like every other thing we do these days - you have to weigh the positives against the negatives ... on a case-by-case-basis.
