open link in iframe

Question

I have a page with a frame in it, and some links below the frame.

I want the links, when clicked, to open the page in the frame.

I tried <a href="" target="nameofframe">link1</a> but it didnt' work?

update its an iframe.

Answer 1

<a href="YOUR_URL" target="_YOUR_IFRAME_NAME">LINK NAME</a>

Answer 2

Assuming the iFrame has a name attribute of "myIframe":

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="myIframe">Link Text</a>

You can also accomplish this with the use of Javascript. The iFrame has a src attribute which specifies the location it shows. As such, it's a simple matter of binding the click of a link to changing that src attribute.

Answer 3

Try this:

< iframe name="iframe1" src="target.html"></iframe >

< a href="link.html" target="iframe1">link</a >

The "target" attribute should open in the iframe.

Edited to fix formatting.
