What are the potential pitfalls of using iframes to display content in PHP, especially when incorporating JavaScript for interactive elements?

Potential pitfalls of using iframes to display content in PHP, especially when incorporating JavaScript for interactive elements, include security risks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and difficulties in styling and responsiveness. To mitigate these risks, consider using AJAX to dynamically load content instead of iframes. 

<div id="content"></div>

<script>
  // Using AJAX to dynamically load content
  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = this.responseText;
    }
  };
  xhttp.open("GET", "content.php", true);
  xhttp.send();
</script>
