iframes & variables - changing content

[ahealy]

I have an iframe in my index.php file which I would like to display the 'main.php' & 'about.php' depending on which button is pressed. Would it be possible to use a variable in the code below instread of a path. Any sugestions?

<IFRAME
style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid; COLOR: #5a4239; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid"
name=link marginWidth=0

src= "main.php" frameBorder=0
noResize width=592 height=231> </IFRAME

Greatful for any help. Cheers.

You're saying "button". Is this a submit button or just a regular button. If its a regular button, then you will have to use clientside JavaScript to update the iframe. If you're submitting back to your web server, then you can have PHP echo the page you want displayed and sent back to the client.

Im looking to use regular buttons here.

Normally I would just use PHP and have something like 'index.php?content=contact' but this does not work in this case becuase the iframe javascript doesnt like PHP variables ($content).
