Problem opening page in dynamically generated iframe

[Malkalypse]

Hello, I have been having some trouble with this one, so I decided to
strip it down to its simplest form. I think I found the root of the
problem, but I don't know how to solve it.

I need a link in one iframe to open a page in a different iframe. I can
do this normally:

http://www.jonesmfgmusic.com/test/test1/

But, when the iframes are dynamically generated (created via a
javascript function), the target id does not seem to be recognized, and
the content is opened in a new window:

http://www.jonesmfgmusic.com/test/test2/

I need to get the second page working like the first one. Can anyone
tell me what I'm doing wrong?

AFAIK, you're not doing anything wrong, there seems to be an issue in
IE with setting the name property on an element created using
createElement. Refer to:
http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.l...137a54913b8474

I added an alert to show document.body.innerHTML, and the name property
doesn't seem to be getting set properly. Interestingly, I did find that
the following code seems to work in IE:

var TargetFrame = document.createElement("<iframe name='Target'>");

I didn't test it, but the linked thread suggests trying innerHTML or
insertAdjacentHTML to create the iframe in IE.
