Why is it recommended to avoid using iframes in .tpl files and what alternative methods can be used?

Using iframes in .tpl files can lead to security vulnerabilities such as clickjacking and cross-site scripting attacks. It is recommended to avoid iframes and instead use alternative methods such as including the content directly in the .tpl file or using AJAX to fetch and display the content dynamically. 

// Example of including content directly in a .tpl file
<div class="content">
    <?php include('content.php'); ?>
</div>

// Example of using AJAX to fetch and display content dynamically
<div class="content" id="dynamic-content"></div>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url: 'fetch_content.php',
            success: function(response) {
                $('#dynamic-content').html(response);
            }
        });
    });
</script>
