Javascript that creates an Iframe

I was wondering how you use a javascript tag in HTML to create an Iframe.

I've see it around, for example the 'Share This' button that everyone wants in there site is a script tage that then turns it's self into an Iframe.

How do you do this. I would rather give the client a line of script as opposed to an Iframe tag (so I can host the script externally and do things like change the location of the embedded Iframe. ).

An IFrame is just an HTML tag like anything else, so the same code you would use to populate HTML somewhere works to create an iFrame.

<script type=text/javascript>
document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML = '<iframe src="whatever.com/" height= width=>';
</script>
