coldfusion: onclick to pass a value to display in an iframe

hello.

i'd like to ask for help/advice from anyone out there.

what i am doing right now is to display a list of documents in one page. when a user select (click) to one of the list, they will be able to view the PDF file in the iframe beside that list. The question is: How to pass a value to an iframe in the same page? (picture below explains how it should work).

Try giving the iframe an ID, and then you can tell it what to load. Ex:

Code:

<iframe id="myIframe"></iframe>

<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('myIframe').src='somepdf.pdf'; return false;">Load PDF</a>
