You need to target your links so they appear inside the inline frame....

This is your inline frame code....You need to name your frame (part in bold) in order to target your links.

<IFRAME SRC="http://ln.doubleclick.net/adi/bottom.ln/tripod;kw=377943;h=misc;sz=728x90;!category=adult; !category=^^^ualovertones;ord=198432662424267?" width=728 height=90 frameborder=0 border=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 vspace=0 scrolling=no name="inlineframe"></IFRAME>

Then you need to target all your links:
Example:
<a href="your url" target="inlineframe">Link Name</a>

in order for the pages in the links to show up in the iframe, you need to target the links into the iframe. you do that by naming the iframe something, like "frame" for example, and adding that to the iframe code like sheila did. then you need to add target="frame" to your links.

you can change your iframe name if you want, but if i were you i'd just leave it as "frame" as in my example as not to get confused :D

Using the example from Lissa's site: http://www.lissaexplains.com/frames.shtml#inline

First, you put the inline frame code on your main page. This is the code...

<IFRAME name="inlineframe" src="yoururl.html" width=200 height=200 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto></IFRAME>

Then you would make a page that will appear in the inline frame. That part is in orange above.

Then you need to target your links so that they will show up in the inline frame. To target the links you need the name of the inline frame. That part is in red. Here is an example:

<a href="yourlink.html" target="inlineframe">Your link name here</a>


Maybe that will make it less confusing.

something else had just happened, i made a iframe thing, and it came up with "not found 404" or something like that. and i went to delete it, but it wont? does this mean that i will have to make yet another site?

that's an error 404 message, meaning the the URL of the page that was supposed to show up was either typed incorrectly or that page doesn't exist
