Hopefully someone can help me with this. How do I open a link (from another page) to open into an iframe?

SO basically on my page I need a link to another page called “my\_page.php” and on this “my\_page.php” page I need it to then open up another link called “inside\_my\_page.php” inside the iframe on that page.

Hope this makes sense. I also hope it’s possible. I would really appreciate any help or guidance.

Thanks a million ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3605/6b0ea229928253da.gif) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3605/6b0ea229928253da.gif)

Set the target attribute of your link to whatever value is in the name attribute of your iframe.
