Hi, I have a iframe that displays a page dynamicaly depending on what a user selects in a drop down box. I am using this command:
document.getElementById(‘Inspiration1’).src=”inspirations/” + filename
to display the web page that is stored in the Inspiration folder, named with the name that the variable [I]filename [/I]has stored in it. What I want to have is a default page that gets displayed when there is not a filename by the name that the variable [I]filename[/I] holds.
Any one get the name of run on sentence? whew thats a load of my chest. Can anyone help with this? Did anyone understand what I was trying to say? Thank you.

@ray326Feb 08.2004 — Why not just establish an initial src for the iframe and then change it based on the selection in the list box?

@ChangedSoulauthorFeb 08.2004 — Well what I need to do is check to see if a certain file even exists in a given directory. Is there a command to check for that.

So basicaly what I do is generate a filename based on what the user selects in the drop down box. If that file name does indeed exist, it will be displayed in the iframe. if it does not, I want to be able to check for that so I can display a general page in the iframe.

Success!
