linking from OnClick to iframe

rated 0 times [ 26] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 15874 / 13 Years ago, mon, april 18, 2011, 12:00:00

I am attempting to have a link load an article from my domain in to an iframe. I understand that it is usually easy to link using:

<a href=# onClick=window.open('http://www.google.com');return false>Google</a>

But when it comes to Iframes I am having difficulty formatting the code correctly so that it will display inside the iframe.

I can not use:

<a href=http://www.google.com target=your_frame_name>Google</a>

Because I need to use an onClick so I can execute more than one command.

I have tried iterations of:

<A HREF=# onclick=window.framename.location='page.htm';>text</A>

<A HREF=# onClick=window.open('your url', 'frameName'); return false>text</a>

<A HREF=# onclick=document.framename.location.href='page.htm'; return false>text</a>

and none of them are doing anything.

Thank you in advance,

Spence
