onMouseOver and iframe

[driftwood]

I am trying to have a mouseover open several text files (one at a time) on the same page in a specific cell in a table. I have discovered that I can get the file to open using iframes and traditional mouse clicks. But I cannot get a mouseover to direct the htm to that location. It always opens a new window, which is not what I want.

I would appreciate any help provided.

well... it should work... (using the iframe method you said above)

<iframe ... name="borris"></iframe>

<a href="text1.txt" onmouseover="document.borris.location=this.href">text 1</a>
<a href="text2.txt" onmouseover="document.borris.location=this.href">text 2</a>
<a href="text3.txt" onmouseover="document.borris.location=this.href">text 3</a>

:thumbsup:
