@aj_nscNov 28.2006 — #Javascript:

@dylanparrinauthorDec 01.2006 — #can i have the hole code please I don't understand im sort of new to HTML and JavaScript.

@dylanparrinauthorDec 01.2006 — #*whole

@dylanparrinauthorDec 01.2006 — #all I need is a code that puts a drop down menu next to a IFRAME an shows what I want in the IFRAME by clicking the drop down menu!.

plz plz help ?

@strakezDec 01.2006 — #[CODE]<a href="javascript:parent.(name of iframe).document.location.href = (url for iframe to go to)"> [/CODE]

i think thats it. replace whats in the brackets with the required information.

-------------------------------

thats the complicated javascript way. if that doesn't work just make sure your iframe has a name (for both this and the method above),

something like <iframe name="(iframename)" ... ></iframe>

then when u place ur link.... [CODE]<a href="(url for iframe to go to)" target="(iframename)> ... </a>[/CODE]

this is the html way to do it.

the javascript method is a bit smoother for ur browser to handle, but not by much.

either way will do.

@dylanparrinauthorDec 02.2006 — #but thats not a drop down menu i can do normal links to the IFRAME but i need a drop down menu i know im starting to sound a bit anoying but this is really important for a project im working on plz help ?
