Links outside of the Iframe

doxology_18

ok, I have little knowledge of iframes, so I'll try to give as much detail I can, I have a page with table of 2 rows and 2 columns in each row, in the top row, I have 5/6ths of a picture then in the next column I have the last 1/6th. Underneath the second part of the picture is my navigation, and underneath the first part of the picture is where I want my Iframe. So what I need is the code for an iframe, and also the code that will allow people to click something from the navigation, and only the iframe would load the page, so the whole page wouldn't refresh, or load the destination page. Hopefully I've explained this well enough for an accurate answer...so with that all being said, help?

I only got the basic iframe:

<iframe src="page.html" width="300" height="300" 
frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" name="mainFrame">
TEXT FOR NON-COMPATIBLE BROWSERS</iframe>

with the link I'm totally stuck...

An iframe is just a frame that allows for a bit more flexibility in location.......

Having said that, let's look at your iframe code:

<iframe src="page.html" width="300" height="300" 
frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" name="mainFrame">
TEXT FOR NON-COMPATIBLE BROWSERS</iframe>

If you google "frames tutorial" or "iframes tutorial" (There are TONS of them on the internet), then you'd see that all you need to do from that point on is tell your links WHERE to load... In your case, it's in the "mainFrame" since that's what you have named your iframe. I won't give you the code, but I will give you a hint: Look at the TARGET attribute for the <a> tag, and you'll get it. This is covered in just about every single frames tutorial out there.

Also, if your question is non-php specific in the future, you may want to find another forum to ask your question, if you don't choose to google for your answer. It kind of rubs some people the wrong way when it's apparent no effort was made on your part to figure out your non-php related question, and instead you just ask your question like that. (Just a little helpful tip for ya)
