Using Anchors with IFrames

suggest change

Normally a change of webpage within an Iframe is initiated from with the Iframe, for example, clicking a link inside the Ifame. However, it is possible to change an IFrame’s content from outside the IFrame. You can use an anchor tag whose href attribute is set to the desired URL and whose target attribute is set to the iframe’s name attribute. 

<iframe src="webpage.html" name="myIframe"></iframe>
<a href="different_webpage.html" target="myIframe">Change the Iframe content to different_webpage.html</a>
