<!--content-->you need to change the target to the name of the Iframe you want.<br /><br />
nameofiframe = the name of your Iframe<br />
target="nameofiframe"><!--content-->..I did that tho..*is lost*...is there another code out there to use?<!--content-->then you didn't do it right. that is the only way to do it. you could use javascript but it basically the same way.<!--content-->
