how do I get a link within an iframe to display on my main page ?

[moospot]

I have a problem..I was using DHTML and CSS Layers until my client pointed out that he was very computer illiterate and wants a very BASIC layout that he can understand (read: simple)

Original Page: http://www.rolanddescombes.com/studio/gallery2.asp

New Page: http://www.rolanddescombes.com/studio/gallery.asp

Yeah, its in an iframe, what's even worse is that page is in a frameset! Anyways, that's a whole different story.

I need the link from the iframe to be displayed in the main page (and not in the iframe) and I can't figure out how to do it?

Any ideas?

Hi

did you try something like this?

<a href="#" onMouseover= "top.location='http://members.aol.com/grassblad'">dfdfd</a>

'top' should refer to the topmost frame/window. If your iframe were composed of frames, you may have to try: top.top.location

That seems to just load up the page again when its clicked. Here is my code in the iframe

<a href="#" onMouseOver="top.location='http://www.rolanddescombes.com/studio/gallery.asp'"><img src="/Studio/Assets/product_images/thumbs/Branch.jpg" border="0"></a>

Obviously it is loading the URL I put in there, but I want it to display the image...hmmm maybe i need a layer

Will this work?

<a href="#" onMouseOver="top.location.ImageLyr='/Studio/Assets/product_images/thumbs/Branch.jpg"><img src="/Studio/Assets/product_images/thumbs/Branch.jpg" border="0"></a>

Ok, maybe I'm confused (been known to happen

Which of the following are you are trying to do?
1) replace the main document with the image in the iframe?
2) replace a div/layer in the main document with the image in the iframe?
3) pop a window with the image in the iframe?
4) replace an image tag in the main document with the image in the iframe?
5) option 1 above, but with the iframe still on the page.

when I went to the 'new page' you posted, the first option (above) occurred.

remember: you have to have 'someplace' to put the image.
