This isn’t really a radiant problem, but maybe one of you can help
me. I have been forced to use iframes because the client wants music
on the site. Now he wants links to specific pages, which of course
poses a problem. Does anyone know how to generate a link directly to
a specific page within an iFrame? The only solution I have heard of
so far involved setting a php variable in the link, the reading this
back out (the author of this idea assumed I was using php).
Any ideas?

Not sure I understand what you are asking, but opening a link into a
different window is done with the “target” attribute of the tag.
Example:

Yes. That is clear. I am trying to link directly to a page with an
iFrame from an external link. Basically a bookmark. I think I know
how to do it, but thought I see if there was something I was
overlooking. Doesn’t seem to be.

I understand. I would probably use Javascript to make this work. For
example a URL http://host/frameset.html?content.html would load the
frameset and a Javascript within this page can evaluate the query string
and load the appropriate page into the frame. This script may or may not
work:

Basically, it sounds to me as if you are trying to load a page which
contains an iFrame, and then programmatically direct that iFrame to
load a different source than its default. If I were doing it in PHP
(sorry) I would script the iFrame to load a sanitized version of a
querystring variable. Maybe someone on the list will be able to tell
you how to do this in R/R/R.

Yes, this is exactly what I am trying to do.
My basic plan at the moment is to make a Virtual Page type for the
mian pae (with the iFrame) and grab the query string. Then I can just
reset the source of the iFrame or redirect the page. Hopefully, that
will work.
You guys have helped a lot, I will let you know what I actually end
up doing.

This is what I was thinking of doing, though perhaps as a Virtual
page. My Ruby is better than my javascript… But I will give it a
thought. Thanks!
