tageting to an iframe

[matthewg]

I know that this post is similar to others, and I've looked through them. I'm new to javascript coding; really not familiar with it at all. I'm working on a project for one of my highschool classes, and I just used some software to create a dhtml/javascript menu. The problem is that I want the links to open within an iframe.
The script for this menu is ridiculously long, and I've looked through it trying to find an indication of where I could set a target for the links, but I haven't been successful in doing so.
I've linked to the script from my index page as to keep the html somewhat tidy, and just used a span to position it.

I had to attach the js file, cause it was too long to paste here.Attachment 1324I want to target the links to an iframe called content.

Thanks all.

Erm, so a few views, but no comments at all. Perhaps because i have the file attached like that. *shrugs* It's too long to paste here. Well, here's the code for the menu's layout; not the function:

function Go(){return}

Menu1=new Array("Home","./index.htm","",0,20,84);

Menu2=new Array("About","","",3,0,84);
  Menu2_1=new Array("The Project","./about/project.htm","",0,20,84);
  Menu2_2=new Array("The Utilities","./about/utility.htm","",0,20,84);
  Menu2_3=new Array("The Creator","./about/creator.htm","",0,20,84);

Menu3=new Array("Photography","./photo/index.htm","",1,0,86);
  Menu3_1=new Array("Albums","","",2,20,84);
   Menu3_1_1=new Array("Québec","./photo/quebec.htm","",0,20,84);
   Menu3_1_2=new Array("Randoms","./photo/random.htm","",0,20,84);

Menu4=new Array("Contact","./contact.htm","",0,0,84);

var Arrws=['tri.gif',5,10,'tridown.gif',10,5,'trileft.gif',5,10];	// Arrow source, width and height

I was thinking that it might be related to this line
var DocTargetFrame='space';
but when I change space to, content, then the menu doesn't appear at all.

Turns out that all i had to do was include

 javascript:window.open('page source','frame id');

in the link.

<iframe id='content' name='content' ...></iframe>

link1.setAttribute('target', 'content');

Thats all!
