The HTML iframe name Attribute is used to specify a reference for an <Iframe> Element. The name attribute is also used as a reference to the elements in a Javascript. 

Syntax: 

<iframe name="name">

Attribute Values: 

  • name: It specify the name for the Iframe element.

Usage

  • The name attribute assigns a unique name to an element so it can be targeted or referenced (e.g., by links or scripts).
  • In <iframe>, it allows other links to target that specific iframe using the target attribute.
  • In forms, it helps identify form data when it’s submitted to the server.

Example: 

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <style>
        body {
            text-align: center;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <h1 style="color:green">
      GeeksforGeeks
  </h1>
    <h2>
      HTML &lt;Iframe&gt;name Attribute
  </h2>
    <p>Content goes here</p>

    <iframe src="" 
            height="200" 
            width="200" 
            name="myGeeks">
    </iframe>
    <br>
    <a href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/community/" 
       target="myGeeks">
      GeeksforGeeks Community
  </a>

    <p>Content goes here</p>

</body>
