Using links to refresh Iframe

I am fairly new to DNN and am having a problem using the Iframe Module. I have set up a table in the left panel where there are links to various html pages I have created. I am wanting to use the Iframe in the content panel to view the HTML pages and have it refresh according to which link is selected. I do not want the entire page to refresh, just the information in the Iframe. Is there an easy way to do this? I thought if I set the target to the Iframe name it would work, but the pages still open in a new window as if the target was set for "blank". Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Re: Using links to refresh Iframe

This isn't possible with the core Links module. All you need to do is specify the link target and the IFrame title; but, as I mentioned, this isn't possible with the core Links module. You can do this with the Text/HTML module, but you'll need to format the list of links on your own.

Re: Using links to refresh Iframe

I used the text/HTML module to insert a table I had created in dreamweaver. The links inside the table all have the target of "Iframe" which is the title of the Iframe. The Iframe shows up and seems to be working, but when i click on the links, it still opens the page up in a blank window. am I missing a step here?

Re: Using links to refresh Iframe

Can you show me the HTML you used in the Text/HTML module?

Here is the Body section of the HTML I used for the table with the links.
