I am working on a test page whereas I have an iFrame. I plan to have a few links that, when clicked, will display its content in a iFrame which is on the page.<br />
<br />
The content is to be various images...the problem I encounter is that when I click on the link, it opens the image in a new window instead of the iFrame.<br />
<br />
I even tried to keep the default name of the iFrame when renaming it had no effect.<br />
<br />
Does IE5 even understand iFrames???<br />
<br />
Below is the HTML code and all that I have as of now..it isn't much:<br />

</html><!--content-->In your iframe tag, if you change id="myIframe" to name="myIframe", I bet it will work better...<br />
<br />
Also, the <title> and <style> tag should go between <head> and </head> rather than in the <body>...<!--content-->Okay..thanks Pyro..I am gonna try it then. Thanks!<!--content-->No problem, man...
<!--content-->Hey..it works now!..Who would've thought a mere thing like iframe id and iframe name would make such a difference! Anyways, thanks....<!--content-->Happy to help... <!--content-->
