I have a simple page that has some iframe sections (to display RSS links). How can I apply the same CSS format from the main page to the page displayed in the iframe?

To apply the same CSS format from the main page to the content displayed in an iframe, you can use the sandbox attribute along with the seamless attribute (if your HTML document is HTML5 or later). You can create a separate CSS file for styling and link it to both the main page and the content inside the iframe. Here's an example:

Main Page (index.html):

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Main Page</h1>
    <iframe src="iframe-content.html" sandbox="allow-same-origin"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

In this example, the sandbox attribute is set to "allow-same-origin", which allows the iframe content to inherit the styles from the main page.

CSS File (styles.css):

css
/* Define your CSS styles here */
body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

h1 {
    color: #333;
}

/* Add more styles as needed */

Iframe Content (iframe-content.html):

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Iframe Content</h1>
    <p>This content is displayed inside an iframe.</p>
</body>
</html>

In the iframe content (iframe-content.html), we also link to the same styles.css file that the main page uses. This ensures that both the main page and the content inside the iframe share the same CSS styles.

By doing this, the styles defined in styles.css will be applied consistently to both the main page and the iframe content, ensuring a uniform look and feel.
