<iframe src="yourpage.asp" frameborder="0" width="383" height="425" scrolling="auto" name="sections_iframe">

i dno if u thought id understand much from your reply. but i dont. i know what an iframe is. i have my name set up in my frameset, and my target set in my drop down, but it's not targetting.

so if you could, please be a little more specific. thanks.

It seemed to be working for me. One suggestion, whem you click on your documents etc, it tries to open them in the frame. I would suggest you use:

onclick="FP_openNewWindow('400', '400', false, false, false, false, true, true, 'Resume', /*href*/'rezame2k4.pdf')">PDF</a> so a seperate window opens with the docs etc.

dood, i'm so perplexed trying to understand you.

i'm not trying to target a popup... isn't that what that does? cuz i just want to target a frame, in a frameset, called "rezaContent" using a drop down select form

Here, here. This one does not have a button, just loads onChange. To change a different frame, replace 'location.href=' with 'parent.theFrameNametoChange.location='



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

function LinkUp()
{
var number = document.DropDown.DDlinks.selectedIndex;
location.href = document.DropDown.DDlinks.options[number].value;
}
</SCRIPT>

<FORM NAME="DropDown">
<SELECT NAME="DDlinks" onChange="LinkUp(this.form)" >
<OPTION SELECTED>Choose a Link
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip1.html"> Page One
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip2.html"> Page Two
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip3.html"> Page Three
</SELECT>

</FORM>

so make some sense for me, i'm sorry i'm such a beginner, my select is named "navigate" and my frame that i wanna target is named "rezaContent"

[restandeffect]

replace 'location.href=' with 'parent.theFrameNametoChange.location='

what do i put after location=' ????

Don't know if you ever solved it, but this works when targeting an IFRAME from a SELECT MENU/DROP DOWN.


<select name="foo" select onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'fooframe')">

Your IFRAME is simply:

<iframe id="fooframe" name="fooframe" src="blah.html" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"></iframe>

Just make sure the name/ID of your iframe is reflected in the select menu part, in this example, fooframe.
