    I am creating an admin section for a site: http://www.dgi.ie/admin/
    What i want is that when a user clicks on a link such as "Add/edit blog entry"
    it pops open a new window as it currently does and also changes the content of the Iframe to a particular URL where the instructions for that particular link are stored.

    Is it a job for Javascript?

    yep.

    you just need to assign an id to the iframe. eg. id="iframe1"

    then in the function you call when on the onclick of that link:

    document.getElementById('iframe1').src = "http://mynewurl.com/";

    Thanks for that. Turns out i didn't need Java script at all.

    A simple name="IFrame1" on the Iframe and then target"Iframe1" in the link.
