Img and Iframes

here is my code snippet

<img src="images/home.jpg" height="40" width="150" />
<img src="images/contact.jpg" height="40" width="150" />

and

<iframe src="aboutseels.php" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="360" ></iframe>

now, i was wondering if there is a way that when the client clicks one of the images, the src of the iframe will change??

for example if i click on the second image the src of the iframe will be src="contactus.php"

I think you set a name attribute on the iframe and wrap the images in an a tag with the target attribute to be the same name.

<iframe name="foo" ...></iframe>
<a href="newlink" target="foo">...</a>

you could use the javascript library jQuery and then use the click event to capture clicks on the images it could look something like this

$(function(){
 $('img').click(function(){
   iframeSrc = this.attr('title');
   $('iframe').attr('src',iframeSrc);
});
});

and the html could look like this then

  <img src="images/home.jpg" height="40" width="150" title="" />
    <img src="images/contact.jpg" height="40" width="150" title=""/>
    <iframe src="aboutseels.php" id="iframe" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="360" ></iframe>

Or use regular html and use target

<a target="iframe" href=""><img src="images/home.jpg" height="40" width="150" title="" /></a>
<a target="iframe" href=""><img src="images/contact.jpg" height="40" width="150" title=""/></a>
<iframe src="aboutseels.php" id="iframe" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="360" ></iframe>
