iframe questions

I have the iframe up, no problem. But I'm trying to get links to put the page up inside the iframe. It doesn't work. If I have a website up that has an iframe layout, my page will come up in that website's iframe. If there are no other iframe layouts it comes up in a new window. What am I doing wrong here?

Also...I changed the opacity of the iframe so it's translucent...but that also changed the opacity of everything inside the iframe, the text and images. Is there a way to make the text and images have 100% opacity while the iframe has 40% opacity?

you mean something like this?

<a href="page1.html" target="iframe">test</a>
<a href="page2.html" target="iframe">test</a>
<a href="page3.html" target="iframe">test</a>

<iframe name="iframe"></iframe>

if you target the links to be loaded into the iframe called, in this case, "iframe", then they should load inside it...

im not quite sure what the point of changing the opacity would be...you could always make it "invisible" by putting frameborder="0" in the <iframe> tag...but otherwise, i dont think theres any way to have the page inside at full opacity...

That's the HTML I had before...except now a new window comes up. I don't know why it's like this...

double-check to make sure the iframe name hasnt been changed...otherwise it will look for some sort of target called "iframe", and when it doesnt find it, it will open a window it calls "iframe"...

A friend of mine showed me what was wrong with the whole link problem today. However...is there anything to be done about the opacity?
