Fancy Iframe do-dads

[jimmy1012]

I am currently working on a website, and was wondering how to make a button on the site redirect the iframe to a predetermined url. also (seperatly) I was wondering if you could set more than one url in list form(so they cycle). I have other questions but I will wait till I need them answered to ask(or try and figure it out myself.)

like the target attribute of a link?

[scrowler]

cycling links would require the use of an external script i.e. javascript/php etc

To address your Iframe link problem...
create an Iframe with this code:

<iframe src="*yourpagenamehere*" name="iframe" id="iframe" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="*width*" height="*height*" frameborder="0"></iframe>

and use a link like this
<a href="yourpagehere" target="iframe">Link Text</a>.
When the link is clicked, it will redirect the iframe to the page of your choice.

To use a cycling link, like scrowler said, would require some external script.
There are a few ways that could be addressed-
1. Use javascript to change the page after each click (ordered)
2. Same as above, but randomized

-I hope this helps

Yes cubed, this is very helpful. Thanks for your help(all of you). I plugged in that to my website and it works perfectly. I found a cool code that puts the history command in an href and plugged that in to get exactly what I wanted.For now this is it, but I may have more questions in the future.

To make a link pop up in a new window, just add this to your html code <a href="yourpagehere" target="_blank">Link text</a>

The _blank tells the browser to spawn a new window. If you want to make the window a specific size, then use this:
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('yourpagehere', 'popupIDhere', 'width=WIDTHhere, height=HEIGHThere')">Link text</a>

Anything else?

-hope that helps

On your Ipod page, after clicking 'charge ipod', clicking main menu does nothing.
Your code is <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)" target="podscreen">...
The history does not work in firefox (for me atleast)
Just thought to let you know

[scrowler]

an alternative to history.go(-1) is history.back(1). you should try to avoid using this in links at all if possible, beacuse i have noticed that using javascript to change the location of your browser causes problems in the browsers history, i.e. if you click a link which uses javascript to goto another page, then click back, it will go back to the page before the original one because the original one didn't get added to the history... if that makes sense

If I sent someone the images I want in my scrollers on my Iframe, could someone code it and send it back? I was looking into doing that last night and I feel it is a little to complicated for me. Thanks
