Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response.
A very nice site you mentioned. Very interesting, I will look further into
that.
But it's not about setting a target. I have specified the target frame, but
want to specify which page to load.

Best regards,
Fokke

Basically it dosn't make a difference.

Yes, but to specify which frame a page is loaded is not the question at all.
Perhaps I did not make myself clear. I am not talking about frames, but
about to specify which page is loaded in a certain frame. I have specified
the frame in which I want to load a page. The point is, that I want to
specify which page is loading into that frame.

You definitely need javascrip for this.

Perhaps you didn't. I had to read the original question a number of times
before I noticed what you are really asking. Let me rephrase it:

You have a page with ten links on *to another page* and that other page has
an iframe on it. You want each of the links to cause a different page to be
loaded into that iframe on that other page. Correct?

Well, that is one of the evils of frames and iframes. You cannot link to
them.

> You definitely need javascrip for this.

Not if you do not use iframes in the first place. And not if you do your
processing server side, where this sort of stuff should be done.

Page <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/linxchek.htm>, as a local copy
with its include files, will load an iframe with HTML or TXT files at a
great rate, especially in Chrome. Search its source for 'ReadWebPage',
and read nearby, to see how; and search also for 'Fram'.

Sorry! I aploogize for that.
Perhaps a language problem?

Yes, correct.

I still have a javascript which did this for a frameset. Somehow if you link
to this frameset like frameset.htm?first, it would load the frameset with
the page first.htm in one of the frames. I tried to convert this script to
use it with my current situation, bit it did not work.

I have a hobby-site, I'm not a professional. I am not familiar with
server-side scripting.

Rgs,
Fokke
