SSI v. iFrames

OK, I grasped the basic concept of SSI,

What's the difference between SSI and iFrames?

Frames are harder to control. SSI is just a snippet of code. Frames contain
essentially an entire web page in them.

Use SSI if you can.

The comparison is really like comparing a fish to a bicycle, though.

SSI is processed on the server, the result is a single HTML-document.
This works with every browser and user agent (UA).

iFrames are a client-side thing and dependent on the UA's capabilities.
They also have many of the problems you'll have with "real" frames. Of
course they are useful from time to time, but think twice before using
them. Often there are better and more reliable (server-side) ways.

Yes. The bolts killed it.
