Debashish's own description of IFrame Widget, lightly tidied.
The IFrame widget can display any external HTML page inside an HTML IFrame component. The need came from the Hindi Tagcloud JSP that I had once created for Chittha Vishwa and I always thought that there should be some way to display that page on my blog.
