iframe questions

[wbjunior]

I have a frame on my main page and was wondering how to make contents pop up in that window when links are clicked on my main page.
so it appears like you are looking at one page and only the contents change in the frame when links are clicked.
is this even possible?

thanks for any help in advance....

Re: iframe questions

ok
I'm not sure i understand
do i put more than one link in the iframe? I like the idea about the music and that is what i want having only the iframe changing its contents.
Also I cant find where to set my target for links to site display.

Re: iframe questions

Your index page is going to be the header and menu with an I-Frame stretched to display all other pages. So, initially- it will only contain the url of the page that you want displayed when the index page is called.

THen the menu buttons will contain the link to the specific page with target of- the I-Frame (or the name of the I-Frame)

Now look back at the tutorials and I bet it will make more sense.

Re: iframe questions

so whats throwing me off is "site display." I need to include this in my URL when i am naming links? because im not finding a target called site display.
sorry, i just ain't understanding yet

Re: iframe questions

Site display is simply what I named the I-Frame. You have to name the I-Frame in order to reference it.

For example- I have a page named page1.html and it has an I-frame on it. The I-Frame name is "my little I-Frame". So I want google to display on the I-Frame when the page loads. Here is how the computer interprets the urland code sturr-

The customer is accessing page1.html and on that page the webmaster has stated that he wants google to appear in the I-Frame named "my little I-Frame".

The reason we name it is that we could have several I-Frames on a page each loading some different page when the main page (that the I-Frames are on) loads.

Re: iframe questions

I understand what you are saying. the iframe i have works and i have only one link that is supposed to show there. I want it to display more than one. the name of my iframe is family block so where do i need to include that name when creating links?
what im trying to get to work is having several pages show in that one ifram as the corresponding link is clicked

Re: iframe questions

Lets say you have a navigation bar. Now click on it to get the properties.
Set the URL to what ever page you want to display on the I-frame on that page. Then where it says TARGET- type in family block

THen when someone clicks on that navigation button it says- get the URL that I specified and display it in - family block

Do that same for any link (on that page) that you wish to have displayed in the I-Frame
