Iframes help by King For A Day on 05-31-2005 at 08:26 PM
i am trying to link one i frame to another but i am having a lot of difficulty
is it possible to do it?
the links in the box main menu come from one page
these are here menu frame
and i want them to link to the corisponding pages and open in the large area.
the large part is named mainsection and the links in the small box are set to target _mainsection
problem site
i hope this makes some sense i have tries to explain as best i can. help is greatly aprciated.
but to be simple is it possible to get one iframe page to open in another?
thankey

you have named the iframe target "_mainsection"
code:
<a href="maincontent.html" target="_mainsection">_home</a>
your iframe is named "mainsection"
code:
<iframe align="top" width="321" height="254" src="maincontent.html" name="mainsection" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
take away the underscore (_)

ah dammit ill try thanks
works yay, i knew somthing was wrong.
also if i want the titles form the pages in the large frame to be used instead of the one in the main part can this be done?
these sound like such noob questions but i have never realy used frames before
RE: Iframes help by jren207 on 05-31-2005 at 08:40 PM
it's an easy mistake to make, i wanted to know how to open links in a new window and found target="_blank", you probably got confused with that..

<offtopic query="yes">
Are you on a PHP-enabled host? PHP'd make it a lot easier to do what you want to do.

code:Upload that as page.php, and when you view it, if you see the word 'Hello', the host is PHP-enabled.
<html>
<body>
<?php echo 'Hello'; ?>
</body>
</html>

So now you can consider a PHP-based alternative. Unlike frames, it won't break bookmarks.
RE: Iframes help by jren207 on 06-01-2005 at 06:12 PM
I'd suggest using PHP also.
You can change any part of the page according to it's page like www.mylovelywebsite.com/?page=links
This means you can have one layout for all your pages, and not have separate pages that you would have in the iframe.
