Is it possible to change the source of an IFrame using Javascript. I want to be able to click a link on the main page and then load the correct screen into the iframe.

Sorted it.

Ok, i know you got it, but i am just wondering, why would you have to change the source to do that??

Not sure what you mean there. I have one page with a menu down the side and an IFrame that I load other pages into. I didn't want to use Frames so this was the only other method I could think of.

you can use this code

document.frames("iframe1").href = "a.htm"

or

document.frames("iframe1").location = "a.htm"

bye & take care

FYI

iframes don't work in NS, and that means all of them, NS uses layers instead. just thought you ought to know

they don't work in ns6 do they?

Actually NN6 does support the IFRAME element:

cool. man, i am starting to like NS6 more and more!

Eventually they will get to the level that IE is at now but by then IE will be far beyond them.

**sail3005** · Oct 3rd, 2001, 06:48 PM

i guess. they are pretty close now.

I read the new "JavaScript Bible" book a little while ago and the funny thing is that alot of what Netscape is putting into NN6 has been around in IE since version 4!

I don't recommend this book by the way...all of the good chapters are on CD!
