I want to Link from the list in a dropdown box. I would like for the Link to show in the Iframe I have created.

Name your iframe, then specify that name as the target.
<iframe name="my-iframe">
<a href="link.htm" target="my-iframe">link</a>

So do i use this coding <a href="link.htm" target="my-iframe">link</a> for each one of the option in the dropdown box (list) here is the current coding (below) I am using for the dropdown box (list).

<form name="form5">
<select name="menu5" onChange="if(this.value!="nogo"){MM_jumpMenu('parent',this
,0)}" style="font-size:9px; color:#000000; background:#C1C1C4">
<option value="page 1.htm">page 1</option>
<option value="page 2.htm">page 2</option>
<option value="page 3.htm">page 3</option>
<option value="page 4.htm">page 4</option>
<option value="page 5.htm">page 5</option>
</select>
</form>

Here is the current coding (below) I am using the my Iframe.

<iframe src="home-text.htm" width=90% height=53%
frameborder="10" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
</iframe>

Where do I put the follow coding? <iframe name="my-iframe">

Name your iframe (whatever you want - I was just calling it "my-iframe" for the example).
<iframe src="home-text.htm" width=90% height=53%
frameborder="10" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="my-frame">
</iframe>

Since you've got a drop-down menu, you'll want to change the 'parent' code (which would open the link in the same window) to my-frame:
<form name="form5">
<select name="menu5" onChange="if(this.value!="nogo"){MM_jumpMenu('my-frame',this
,0)}" style="font-size:9px; color:#000000; background:#C1C1C4">
<option value="page 1.htm">page 1</option>
<option value="page 2.htm">page 2</option>
<option value="page 3.htm">page 3</option>
<option value="page 4.htm">page 4</option>
<option value="page 5.htm">page 5</option>
</select>
</form>

If this doesn't work, you may need to change your javascript a little.
