I have an iframe inside a cell of a table. How can I use a link on the parent page to switch the iframe .html page?<P>------------------

In JavaScript, use<P>window.parent<P>In HTML, use<P>target="_parent"<P>(I think. I'm not sure about the HTML one.)<p>[This message has been edited by Slime (edited 20-03-2000).]

In HTML, set it up like this:
a href="yourpage.html" target="iframe-name"<P>"iframe-name" being whatever you named your iframe <P>------------------

Oops, I misunderstood your question. Listen to him, not me.

Thank you both for your replies...<P>I'll try out your snippet of code<P>------------------

I tried iframe-name thing. It doesn't work???<P>------------------

Since that didn't seem to work answer me this:<P>Can an .html page preload (similar to preloading images?) another page when it loads up? <P>------------------

I'd just like to double check that you understood what he said, since it seemed a tad bit confusing to me - use<P>a href="coolpage.html" target="namehere"<P>When I read the "iframe-name" it looked to me like you had to include "iframe-" before the name, and I just wanted to make sure that you didn't make the same mistake.<P>Make sure also, in your IFRAME tag, to put name="namehere".

Yeah, what he said...iframe-name was just my example.<P>When you create your iframe, make sure you name it - (I can't use the html brackets because the forum will hide what's inside them) iframe name="blah-blah" src="blah.html"
That'll do it, in IE any way. Apparently Netscape doesn't support the iframe tag anyway : (<P>------------------

That's what I had heard about netscape not supporting the iframe.
