It's very easy to do.
However i|Frames and indeed Frames in general are considered to be
rather old school these days.
All you do is give the iFrame a name in the iFrame element, then when
you link to the file to "supply" the iFrame put the iFrame's name as
the target.
Here's the lnk:
<a href="thelinkedfile.html" target="nameofiframe">linked text</a>
So obviously you have one of these links for each of the files you are
planning on having as a possibility to fill the iFrame.
And now the iFrame:
<iframe src="defaultiframesupplyfile.html" name="nameofiframe"
width="500" height="500" frameborder="0"></iframe>
In the iFrame you'll see "defaultiframesupplyfile.html", this is to be
the path and filename of the file which fills the iFrame when no link
has been clicked. You'll see frameboard="0" this can be set to 0 or 1.
This is to turn off or on the iFrame boarder. It is more often turned
off these days.
