    To call elements to same page via linking

    How can I bring in music players (small, single file WMP) or Youtube or similar elements, to appear, upon linking, on the same page from where the link originates?

    Thanks

    Use an iframe.

      Thanks, Chris,

      Despite my rapid movement up the ranks , I still can't fully conquer this one. Parts of it yes - fully, no.
      I wonder if you could help me with a little bit of step-by-step.

      What I'm trying to accomplish is to have one Youtube player and three (times one?) mp3 player (wmp) to appear on my index page.
      They shouldn't show unless called for, by clicking a picture (or text).

      Where I got stuck: I'm lost with the correct URLs, (linking) and "name"; and to have the elements reside on (or come onto) my index page. Preferrably not showing - or barely showing, until playtime.

      What I did: I brought an Iframe on the page, sized it to accept a wmp which I brought up next. I couldn't get the link from a picture to start
      the player while on this page. I could get it work while the player (as well as a Youtube) residing on their respective, different pages.
      (I usually work out such kinks by myself but this time no cigar.)

      I've seen Youtube present on website pages, but rendered transparent. This is not good for me.

      Thank you for your effort.

      (Perhaps you will take a look at my index page?)

        Hi, when you place an iframe on the page, it should be give it a name ?? Maybe "IF1". Now when you link a page to open in the frame, enter the url in yor link & also type IF1 in the target field to tell the link to open in the fame IF1.
        Regards Chris.
