I am working on a test page whereas I have an iFrame. I plan to have a few links that, when clicked, will display its content in a iFrame which is on the page.

The content is to be various images...the problem I encounter is that when I click on the link, it opens the image in a new window instead of the iFrame.

I even tried to keep the default name of the iFrame when renaming it had no effect.

Does IE5 even understand iFrames???

Below is the HTML code and all that I have as of now..it isn't much:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<body background="imgs/pink.jpg">
<title>iFrame Test Area</title>
<iframe id="myIframe" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
width="40%" height="50%" src="imgs/imtitle.jpg" scrolling="no"></iframe>
<style type="text/css">
a.link {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
a.link:hover {
color: red;
}
</style>
<p><a href="imgs/elderman.gif" target="myIframe" class="link">Elderly Man Drawing</a><br>
</body>

In your iframe tag, if you change id="myIframe" to name="myIframe", I bet it will work better...

Also, the <title> and <style> tag should go between <head> and </head> rather than in the <body>...

Hey..it works now!..Who would've thought a mere thing like iframe id and iframe name would make such a difference! Anyways, thanks....
