  Really? I'd say image maps was the name I haven't heard in a long time... As in I read a couple of paragraphs before it dawned on me that it was _that_ type of image maps that post was about - I first thought it was something regarding rasterized maps (like OpenStreetMap or something)

  If you're looking at any web page with ads or tracking, it has many iframe elements. The javascript that loads them usually creates an iframe and the ad appears there. A typical newspaper site could have 5-50 iframes on each page.

  Perhaps you confused it with the frameset and frame? frameset: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/frameset https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... frame: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/frame https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... iframe: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/iframe https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

  How would you embed a pdf view in a page?

    <object>. It’s a better choice than <iframe> because it ensures the PDF will be rendered, and you can control the fallback content if the user agent can’t render it.
