Help with...umm...something

Hello there! I'm new here and this is my first post. HI to all you people at DEVPPL. Hope I'll learn from you!

I already know some HTML. But what I need is the following:
I have few links and some space left below....like this:

Link 1
Link 2
....
Link N
_________________________________

space for flash file No X

_________________________________

Now I want it to do the following: When I press Link 1, in that space opens a flash file 1, when I press lin2 N, the flash file N opens.
How would I do such thing?

Also, lets say it's not a flash file, how would I display Text 1 if link one pressed and Text 2 if Link 2 pressed??

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to DEVPPL, hope we will se a lot of you around here =)

A good way to do what you are talking about is to use IFRAMES:

EDIT: You have to set the target="" on the link to the name of the IFRAME.

I agree with Razz (webmaster). IFRAMEs are the best way to get this done.

I dont think that you can do it any other way

It could be done with a FRAMESET too, or maybe a DIV, but a DIV would require that the page is reloaded and a frameset would require much more code.

I might be wrong, but a FRAMESET also requires the page to be reloaded.
Anyway, a reloading page is 1) annoying for the visitors and 2) taking up valuable bandwidth.
I think you should just go with the IFRAMEs

or you could chnage the inside of a div with javascript:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <script> function more(){ document.getElementById('div').innerHTML=document.getElementById('div').innerHTML+"<span style='color:blue'> and</span><span style='color:red'> more</span>" } </script> </head> <body> <div id="div" onclick="more();">(click me) here's some text</div> </body> </html>

Have fun clicking!
