Alright here goes…

Say I have an email with links. When clicked, those links will open up a page with multiple iframes, one of them named “content” ( \<iframe name=“content” id=“content” … ) and having a source file set to bio.htm ( … src=“bio.htm”\> ). How would I go about opening this page and setting the source from the email or other external page? I’ve tried numerous javascript solutions from google and such to no avail.

[targeted page](http://vigilantez.com/main.htm)

Keep in mind that the links are opening a blank page, so naimng a target doesn’t seem to help. Any suggestions?
