passing url to iframe

Question

I have links on the side of my page such as "home", "news", "contacts", ... and an iframe in the middle of the page, I would like the iframe to go to diffrent urls according to the link selected. Could I do this by only using html and/or how?

Answer 1

Give the iframe a name attribute, like this:

<iframe name='content' ...>

and then give each link a corresponding target attribute, like this:

<a href='news.html' target='content' ...>
