I am familiar somewhat with targeting particular frames and Iframes. I am wondering if there is a way to override the Target setting within pages (pages hosted by someone else on another server) that load into an Iframe?

I have a SRC page that loads but when I click on links within the Iframe, one or two of the links open in the parent window rather than within the Iframe. Is there a way to remedy this?

you cannot over-ride somebody elses page targets.
before that though, you should not be stealing their pages onto your site. it causes a drain on their resources and is usually not permitted.

The first part of your response answers the technical aspects of my question.

The second part of the response comes as a total surprise. I was unaware that using Iframes in such a manner is improper. If what I have been brainstorming as a potential solution to my problem is, in fact, improper, I'll just have to continue looking for an alternative solution.

OK, what about this option. If I create a page on my own hosted web server (Server A), which I am currenlty paying for, is it also improper to display my own HTML page via Iframe on Server B, a Yahoo group, for example?

as long as it is your own stuff, then it is ok to do whatever, cause the only one you will have to answer to is yourself.
