Changing an iframe - HTML / CSS

Hello, Dumb question... I have a web page that uses a couple of iframes, and what I would like to do is have a link on the main page that changes an iframe without refreshing the main page. I know it's possible to have a link in one iframe affect another iframe without refreshing the parent because that's the way I've been doing it up til now, but can a link on the parent affect an iframe without refreshing it so that I can get rid of the iframes that exist for only that purpose?

(let me know if I'm not making any sense, I havn't slept in a while and I may be rambling)

Yes you can, all you do is this:
say iframe1 is the name of the iframe,
[HTML]<a href="URL" target="iframe1">Link</a>[/HTML]
hope it helps

Yes it does, and for the reference of others, if you are using a drop down form, it would look like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <FORM name="Whatever name"><SELECT size=1 name="URL" onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)iframe1.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
