Hi!
It goes like this…i got a page with menus on top and an iframe in the middle of this page. Now what i want to know is how can i change iframe’s content when i click on the menu’s hyperlinks. Like when i click the “About” in the menu i want to see about.html in iframe.
I hope you understood what i’m trying to do…

Is this what u mean ? . then u could do what has been done in the page mentioned, and have links outside that part, and connect the two pages in that manner…

If you keep the link IDs the same as the page names (minus the extention) then you could use this: DEMO
<html>
<head>
<title>Change iFrame Contents</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function changeFrame(newPage){
document.getElementById('myframe').src = newPage + ".html";
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<span id="menu">
<a href="#" id="default" onClick="changeFrame(this.id)">Home</a>
<a href="#" id="about" onClick="changeFrame(this.id)">About</a>
<a href="#" id="contact" onClick="changeFrame(this.id)">Contact</a>
</span>
<br><br>
<iframe src="default.html" id="myframe">
You can't see iFrames :(
</iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you really must have the IDs and page names different, then that would be a minor change but would mean that your code wasn’t quite as generic.

This builds on awestmoreland’s script, but it’s more accessible if Javascript and/or iframes are unavailable.
<html>
<head>
<title>Change iFrame Contents</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function changeFrame(newPage){
document.getElementById("myframe").src = newPage;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<span id="menu">
<a href="default.html" id="default" onClick="changeFrame(this.href); return false;">Home</a>
<a href="about.html" id="about" onClick="changeFrame(this.href); return false;">About</a>
<a href="contact.html" id="contact" onClick="changeFrame(this.href); return false;">Contact</a>
</span>
<br><br>
<iframe src="default.html" id="myframe">
You can't see iFrames :(. Use the links above to get to our pages :).
</iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
