Maybe I can get some help from you, since you're on right now and know a thing or two.

This is the first page of my site, the one you get on when type in the address.
http://www10.brinkster.com/oscarempire/index.html

This is the layout for all the other parts of my site.
http://www10.brinkster.com/oscarempire/base.html

Here's the question. How to do so that if you click on lets say Actor in the first layout you get the second page with the actor stuff in the inframe. Or if you press on Emperial Awards, you will get to the second layout with Emperial Awards in the inframe.

The problem is that the the first page doesn't have that same iframe as the second one. I know how to make those links active in the socond page, so that info in iframe changes for actor, actress, blah, blah. But I want to access that second page, from the first page, with the info in the iframe changing.

Is it even possible? Please, please someone let me know?

I posted it before, but nobody replied so I'm trying again.

Thanks for the patience man. Here's what I do, but it doesn't work, tell me what I do wrong. Your code is in bold.

<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 ONLOAD="preloadImages();"
onload="
var url = self.location.search.substr(5);
self.frames['main'].base.href = url;
return true;">
then
<A HREF="base.html?url=picture">

BTW, is there like a site I can go to, so that maybe I could understand it better?

Again, thanks you're awesome.
