i have an index.htm that has 2 iframes. one iframe has a menu and stuff and the other iframe is where the info is to be displayed. i want to have the menu attributes that are inside iframe1 display the relative information inside iframe2. can someone tell me how this is possible. i have seen code where the menu links to info inside an iframe but the menu itself wasnt in an iframe. this is not what i want.

So you're saying if iframe1 had a link to, say, cars.html, and someone clicked that link, you would want it (cars.html) to open in iframe2? If so:

Give a value to the name attribute within the iframe tag.

<iframe name="bob">...</iframe>

Then you have one of two choices:

1) Give a value for the target attribute in each link (which is, in this case, bob).

<a href="cars.html" target="bob">...</a>

2) Set the default target to open in the iframe (include this between the <head> tags).

<base target="bob" />

I by no means know much HTML, but I do like inline frames. :)
