iframe page handle from wrapping page

[Apache <ap...@ss78.shared.server-system.net>]

Hello,

I have an iframe that loads up any number of pages.  The way it works now is the iframe gets set with a page link and then it loads up the page independently.  I initiate the switching between the pages in the iframe by changeing the src of iframe.  It works as it stands but I would rather do it another way.  I would rather have a handle to this iframe's context in the outer page and just activate or change the state of the iframe page from within the outer page listener methods.  Any thoughts on how to do this?

Regards,
L

iframes are like so medieval. Tapestry is a component base framework, designed to reuse components and content, while increasing maximum application dynamics.

iframs are like so last cnetury. ^_^. 

personally i think it would be easier to set up a nice simple border, that contains a bottom and top component. 

you really should make all of your subpages components, then when you click a link in the top component the page cycles and refresh and changes out the bottom component, working the same as an iframe.

unless you are loading another page from a different site. Then you should use frames not iframes.

iframes yeild many undesirable effects in diff browsers which is y you should stay away from em, plus they cluster up your application sooo bad with pages.
