Is there a <no frames> or <no script> for IFrames?

I am trying to optimise a website which has to use <iframes> tags to display content from other html files onto the page. However, I know that many of the search engines are not following the content within the <iframes> and are therefore not indexing or crawling the content and links.

Please can someone give me an example of a correct use of <no frames> or <no script> (or equivalent) that I can use with the <iframes> tag that I can use to include search engine crawlable text and links in this instance? I can't seem to find much information on this topic. Thanks in advance.

Hello louise_w_uk. If you've not been welcomed yet, here goes...

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Yes, there is an area for making content available for those who cannot view the <iframe>.

<iframe>Insert spiderable content here between the opening and closing tags.</iframe>

<iframe> tags are ignored by browsers that dont support them - including most robots (except Zyborg which follows the src - even with a noindex,no follow - silly Zyborg)

Therefore the robot will read the content between the <iframe> and </iframe> tags. Therefore you can serve up content to robots/non supporting browsers in the iframe tags. (Probably best not to stuff keywords in there though ;))
