How to make information display in same window rather then in a new window

[ghurty]

Hi,

 

 

I have a php script that generates a calender, with that you can click on  a particular date, and it will give you sunset/sunrise high tide/low tide, etc...

 

As of now, it opens it up in a new window.

 

How would I go about making it display it in a special designated area on the side of the same page?

 

Here is the code for the link as of now:

<a href=\"./components/com_times/times.php?day=$tag&month=$monat&year=$jahr&locname=$activelocationurl\" target=\"_blank\">\n";

 

 

What would I change the link to, and what code would I need to put someplace else?

 

 

Thank You

You'll need to either use javascript to open and designate a div tag, or use an iframe...

On method is to add an iframe. Then in your links instead of using _blank as the target you'll provide the name of your iframe. Or the more modern method is to use Ajax

Thank You, That worked.

 

 

But now I am having a different problem.

 

I added the code in, and using dreamweaver I put it side by side with the php code, however, when I load the webpage, the php script begins below the iFrame. How would I get it to be side by side.

 

Also, how do you name a iframe, so it can be called?

 

Thanks

You will need to use some CSS to position the iframe, but as to the naming situation:

<iframe name="iframe"> </iframe>

 

After that, just change your links to <a href="url" target="iframe">Blah</a>...
