How to set link target property to open page in center div?

[Jennifer]

I have a page with three divs (top, left and center). I want to place
hyperlinks in the left column (div), where each link calls a separate page.
I want each separate page to open in the center div, leaving the contents of
the other two divs unchanged. But I don't know how to set the "target"
property to open in the center div. I would prefer to do this without using
frames.

Does anybody know how to set the "target" property of each hyperlink to show
the contents of each separate page in the center div? Thanks for any help.

Documents can only be displayed in windows or frames. You can't open a
document in joe random element. If you could, then there wouldn't be much
point in avoiding frames - since you would have just reintroduced all the
problems associated with them.

The solution is to include the content you have in the top and left divs on
each page. A preprocessor or server side tool can keep this sort of thing
in sync for you automatically.

If you don't use frames you cann still use IFRAME for the same purpose.
Adressing of iframe source is : document.all.MyFrame.src="blabla.htm"

Yuck. That is Internet Explorer specific JScript, don't use it. If you MUST
use JavaScript then try: document.frames['MyFrame'].src, which is much
better supported, but you almost certainly can get away with just using the
target attribute and plain old Transitional HTML 4.01.
