Okay, I'm not sure I am still being clear, I hate when that happens, lol.  Please proceed to the following site for the example of what I am talking about: [url=http://www.aviationhistoryonline.com]http://www.aviationhistoryonline.com[/url] Now, when this homepage loads, you will see where the IFRAME is.  Click on the AIRCRAFT button to the left.  This will load a welcome page into the IFRAME with a link at the button.  Click the 'search' link to load a form into the IFRAME, and run a quick search.  This has now reloaded the entire page, and is now displaying all the results from the search.  Now, is it possible to have a link on this results page that will take you back to the home page, but with the search form loaded into the IFRAME? ~Z~

Okay, perhaps a layout description would help. 1) The user starts on the home page, which has an IFRAME within it. 2) The user can make click a link which will change the page within the IFRAME, welcoming him to the section. 3) The new page within the IFRAME has a link within it that opens a search form within the IFRAME. 4) When the search is run, the PARENT becomes the target and the whole page changes to display results. The question is, I would like to know if it is possible to place a link on the results page in step 4 to take the user to where he already is in step 3.  Does that make more sense? Thanks, ~Z~

Not so much change the default source...think of it this way: I have a menu bar that, ideally, I'd like to be able to reload the homepage, but to a specific frame that perhaps the user has already visited.  It's such a pain for them to have to go through 1 or 2 other frames to get back to the one they were using previously.  Does that make more sense?  I guess simplified, is there a way to directly target (through the use of a link) a frame that perhaps would take 1 or 2 steps to navigate to normally? ~Z~

I'm not quite sure how to ask this, but I'll give it my best. Located on the front page of my homepage is an IFRAME.  When the page initally loads up, it displays a default page welcoming people.  Based on what button a user selects, a new section page is generated within the IFRAME.  Is there a way to load the page (through a link for example) to force the home page to load with one of the section pages instead of the default welcome?  This way, users can go directly to the start of one section without having to read the welcome over and over again. Thanks, ~Z~

Just the part that switches the color.  I get everything else, just a little fuzzy about why it does that. ~Z~

To be honest, I still don't fully understand WHY this works, but I will give it thought still.  Thank you very much to everyone for their help. ~Z~

[quote author=radalin link=topic=107421.msg431017#msg431017 date=1157764190] you should check css by the way [/quote] Tell me about it...I've thumbed through it, but thought it more important to pick up more PHP and SQL first.  From what I've picked up so far, it does look helpful. Where does the rest of the stuff go?! Thanks, ~Z~

Okay...still kinda getting it. If my code looks like this: [code]<?php $c = @$_GET['c'] ; $a = @$_GET['a'] ; $db = MYSQL_CONNECT();     mysql_select_db();     $query = "select * from aircraft_specs where (($c = 1) AND ($a = 1))ORDER BY manufacturer ASC, model ASC, subtype ASC"; $result3 = mysql_query($query,$db); while ($myrow3 = mysql_fetch_array($result3)) { $id_specs = $myrow3["id"]; $manufacturer_specs = $myrow3["manufacturer"]; $model_specs = $myrow3["model"]; $subtype_specs = $myrow3["subtype"]; ?> <FONT FACE="verdana" SIZE="2" COLOR="black"> <A HREF='http://www.aviationhistoryonline.com/aircraft/index.php?id=<?php echo "$id_specs";?>'><?php echo "$manufacturer_specs";?>  <?php echo "$model_specs";?><?php echo "$subtype_specs";?></A><BR> </FONT> <?php } ?>[/code] Where would all of that fit in? ~Z~

I kinda see how that should work, but my knowledge is limited thus far.  Can anyone explain it to a dummy like me? :) I just need to alternate from a white background to a light gray background...over and over and over...lol. ~Z~

I know I have seen this on the forum before, but I can't seem to find it in the search function because I don't know exactly what to enter. I need to find how to alternate background colors when showing all the results of a query if that makes sense. Thanks, ~Z~

Anyone else have any thoughts?? ~Z~

sorry, that reply wasn't for you, it was for designationlocutus.  I'm trying your suggestion now. I'm a little fuzzy about how to include the session variable ($_SESSION['picture1']) though, could you help with that?

That's the way I'm doing it, but I need it to load a default image based on the ID of the parent page loaded. ~Z~

The code for my default IFRAME page is: [code]<TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0 ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="450" HEIGHT="150"> <TR><TD VALIGN="TOP"> <IMG SRC='images/<?php echo "$picture1";?>'> </TR></TD> </TABLE>[/code] The code from the page it is inserted on: [code]<IFRAME BGCOLOR="#000000" SRC="image.php" MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=450 HEIGHT=100% NAME="IMAGE"></IFRAME>[/code] The variable $picture1 is defined on the page where the IFRAME is inserted. ~Z~

I'm trying to include an IFRAME on my page.  Basically the reason I am using it is to be able to use it as a TARGET for a few links.  I'm able to include it and make it work, but when I go to add PHP code to it, the trouble starts.  I'm wanting the frame to display a default image based on the ID of the page it is included within.  I've done it a few ways, and the best I can figure is that the IFRAME isn't getting the ID data to be able to provide the appropriate variable.  If anyone understands what I am saying, am I correct?  Is there a way around this?? Thanks, ~Z~
