HTLM noob here. I need help with links to tables!

[AdamsBlueGuitar]

Here's the situation. I have a page with 2 tables on it. In table
one, are several links. The I want the content of the links to show
up in table two. I think this can be done by nameing table 2 say
"table2". Then in the links in table one, have <a
href="http://www.page" target="table2">. But apparently there's
something missing, because when I click the link, the content pops up
in a new window. What I would expect to work would look something
like this:

<table>
<tr>

<td>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="table2">
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="table2">
<a href="http://www.msn.com" target="table2">
</td>

<td name="table2">
Main stuff that should get replaced by the above websites once clicked
on.
</td>

</tr>
</table>

But I'm doing something wrong. Help? :(

I'm new at HTLM too. Hopefully my HTML experience will fill in the gaps

You can expect all you like, but you've totally made that techique up.

You're thinking of frames, not tables. Look for a good frames tutorial,
then ignore it completely. Frames are almost always the wrong solution,
and a search on this newsgroup will give you lots of pointers why.

Explain what you're trying to achieve (context, not mechanism), and
we'll suggest something.
