PHP hyperlinks in a iFrame passing to a iFrame in index.php
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2012 3:37 pm
I am working on making a php site and am fairly new to php. The home page index.php has two iframes one on the left (name=pages) and one on the right (name=pdf). Above the iframe on the left are CSS buttons to open php files into the left iframe. One of the php files (Spec_list.php) opens with links generated from mysql into the left iframe. The links work when loading just the Spec_list.php but for some strange reason do not load when loading in the iframe. (both php files located in the same folder). I would then also like to get the links to open there pdf files into the iframe on the right hand side. I would like to be able to open diffident php files similar to spec_list.php in the left side who's links then open into the right iframe.

I have also tried by converting my variables to session variables and the spec_list.php links still will not work when loaded in the left iframe.
