This would simplify everything all around, and add some flexibility as well. There are a variety of ways to go about this - [url=http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/ssi/ssi1_intro.html]http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/ssi/ssi1_intro.html[/url] [url=http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate/phptemplate.html]http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate/phptemplate.html[/url] [url=http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate2/phptemplate2.html]http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate2/phptemplate2.html[/url] I would strongly recommend using PHP, and calling the text files into a template page. Quick, easy, no worries about loading different pages into different places and all..... Getting a link to load into your iframe without a server side solution requires adding a "target" to <a> tag. The iframe needs a name, and you add target="iframename" to the link. As far as I know, you can't get an external link to load anything into that iframe. Edit - and yes, nested tables are bad, especially when there is absolutely no need for them. You can save load (rendering) time as well as bandwidth by converting to a simplified CSS controlled layout. This and many other forums do yo use nested tables, because that was once the only way to acomplish this. It no longer is. More iimportantly though, Forums are a far different issue then general page layout, requring more specialized attention in most cases.
