[Pro] Quick opinion needed...iframe or not

Hi,

I am embedding a chat box on my page.

The application gives me 2 choices…

embed the code BEFORE head and also use a div code for placement

OR

Use 1 iframe code.

In your opinion is it better/faster, etc to use the iframe code or the other way putting code before head and html markup div code?

Thanks.

Barry

Using an iFrame doesn’t take bandwidth from your siteserver. If the chatbox
should be responsive you’ll have to check first if that works allright.

the designer of the box says

“Javascript code provides a better performance for your website. It is the recommended way to embed ChatWing into your website. You will not need to update the code in your website after changing the options”

not sure why though.

I often use iFrames so that updates and maintenance will be done
automatically on ‘the other side’. But I don’t know Chatwing. If it works
better when its embedded then the choice is clear.

I’d go for the non-iframe option. I don’t like frames. It’s soooooo 2004.

I vote the same way as Richard, whenever it’s feasible to avoid iframes, it is best to do so. They are finicky (especially on responsive websites) and you can’t customize their content with your own CSS if you chose to do so. They also slow down the loading time of the website, as your browser is having to fetch two complete pages.
