Is there a way to add a frame, or show another webpage in the <body> tags? I do not have access to the <head> tags. I have to work on this website which is hosted by another company, and the only thing I can edit is the <body> of the page. I want it to show a differnt page, so i was going to add a frame. Is it possible to do that, or something similar to the same effect?

Adding frames in the <body>

Hi ayersart,
The trick is to give the IFRAME a name and to tell the anchor where to target the link.
Have a look at this example:
Or you can define a default target for ALL your links by adding [tt]<base target="yourIFRAME">[/tt].
This is how it coule look like:
There are four pre-defined target names you can use :
[tt]target="_self"[/tt] will open the link in the same windows (as the link is in)
[tt]target="_blank"[/tt] will open the link in a new window
[tt]target="_parent"[/tt] will open the link in the parent window (one window level above in a frameset)
[tt]target="_top"[/tt] will open the link in the top window (top level window in a frameset)
And (finally) here's a reference on the <a> tag :
Regards
Jakob ;-)
