On my site, I am using the drop down menu code:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
//Contents for menu 1
var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href="bandinterviews.html">Bands</a>'

//Contents for menu 2

</script>
I also have an Iframe on the same page as this drop down menu code and would like the links in the drop down menu to go to the frame.
I tried putting target=frame in the a href tags at the top of the code, but it didn't work. Does this javascript code allow me to connect it to the frame or can I not? |
