Targetting DIV tags in html frameset

[bloke]

Hi guys

Can I target a link in a frame to a DIV tag within another frame?

If, for example, I have a content frame with something like:

<DIV id="thisone">
something here
</DIV>

..can I have a link in a different frame, something like:

<a href="thisone">a link</a>

or will this just look for a frame called "thisone", not find it and open in a new window, as I suspect?

Cheers

if you changed that div into an iframe I believe it would find it. Provided you used name not id

However, you link to it like:

<a href="filetoappear.htm" target="thisone">Link</a>




<iframe src="source for iframe initially - blank if none.htm" name="thisone"><A href="source for iframe initially - blank if none.htm">Your browser does not support inline frames. Please follow this hyperlink.</a></iframe>

Hmm, tried changing

<div id="this">blah</div>

to

<iframe id="this">blah</iframe>

with no joy. Am I missing something? I've never really used iframes so not too sure of the correct syntax here.

is the iframe empty to start with?

You can also specify width, height and frameborder.

<iframe src="" name="thisone" width="200" height="200" frameborder="0"> etc </iframe>
