Is it possible to href from a button to open a page in a targeted frame?
I have several buttons that I want to use this command on so that different pages open up in the same frame that has an id?
Thank you

<iframe src="main_page.html" name="myframe"></iframe>
<br><br>
<input type="button" value="links" onclick="myframe.location.href='links_page.htm'">
<input type="button" value="guestbook" onclick="myframe.location.href='guestbook.htm'">
<input type="button" value="pictures" onclick="myframe.location.href='pictures.htm'">I hope that helps :)

I do not understand where I put the following code:
<input type="button" value="links" onclick="myframe.location.href='links_page.htm>
Also, what if I need to define the size of the iframe and scroll it?
Thanks

Right, i'll break gigabites' script down:
<iframe src="main_page.html" name="myframe"></iframe>
These are your Iframe parameters, you can define the sizes in this line (width=90, height=90), and scrollbars=true (?)
<br><br>
Leaves a couple of lines
<input type="button" value="links" onclick="myframe.location.href='links_page.htm'">
Changes iframe location to links_page.htm
<input type="button" value="guestbook" onclick="myframe.location.href='guestbook.htm'">
Changes iframe location to guestbook.htm
<input type="button" value="pictures" onclick="myframe.location.href='pictures.htm'">
Changes iframe location to pictures.htm
Hope this helps

@tacob
Simply put that code in the page where You want the buttons (and the iframe) to appear.
If You want a 400 x 400 iframe with no scrollbars...
<iframe src="main_page.html" name="myframe" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no"></iframe>
@cr3ative
it's scrolling="no"... I couldn't have known it without My manual though :D
