Hyperlinks and Inline Frames

Hi,

I am new to Frontpage and have no programming skills. I would like to
create an inline frame and have the content of the frame change (webpage with
in the frame) when a hypelink is clicked. Can some tell me the easiest way
to achieve this? Thanks.

Simply create a normal hyperlink, then specify the "target" frame in the
hyperlinks dialogue. The name of the frame in this case would be whatever
your inline frame's "id" is.

When you create the Iframe, FP would usually ask you to name it to something
easily identifiable and relevant to the content it will contain.

Being that frames or iframes contain another web page (Html) file within
another, then name the frame something similar or the same as the page that
will be contained in the frame/iframe.


So if the iframe is called "fred" your hyperlink will look like <a
href="http:/www.yousite.com/whatever/index.html target="fred">Link to
Fred</a>
