That just about covers my question :)

Well, I don't know much about iframes, but probably just use target="IFRAMENAME" . You will ahve to designate the IFRAMENAME in the iframe, <iframe name="IFRAMENAME"...>

Once again, I have never used an iframe, so...

What Canuckkev said is correct.
iframes take the same attributes as normal frames.

eg,

<iframe name="tom" src="----.html" width="450" height="300" scrolling="yes" frameborder="yes" bordercolor="#0000ff" marginwidth="10" marginheight="15">
</iframe>

You don't need all those parameters - just name, src, width and height are essential

Obviously, you don't need any <frameset> tags in your page

To change the content of the frame with a link,

<a href="harry.html" target="tom">Click here to change</a>

Also, Netscape doesn't support IFRAMES so you might want an alternative option for the few visitors who use this browser.

You mean people actually use Netscape? :confused:
