Jump Menus & Include Page

I now have several jump menus on one page (thanks to the help of this site). I would like to have the linked pages appear on the same page as the jump menus -- below them. Is there a way to do this using only FP. If not, is there a way to do this at all? How?

You would have to load the link into an IFrame.

(1) Is an "IFrame" an "inline frame?" If so, does in inline frame always look like a text area?

(2) Do I need to know anything else besides FP to do this? Do I have to write (or find/buy) a script? Or would it be something like... the link is activated from the jump menu causing the target page to load... but instead of loading, I can do something with that page to make it load into the inline frame? So, I have to add something to each target page? If this is correct, is there a function in FP that will help me do this?

Yes, and No, how it looks depend entirely on the page you load in the iframe.

Jens,
When I went to the URL, I only saw my message.

I have my jump menus on the page.
I have an inline frame below (Frame1).
In the jump menu behaviors dialogue box, I opted for the URLs to appear in Frame1, as opposed to page default or new window. The follow line of code appears in the HTML.
<option value="#" onchange="FP_jumpMenu(this,'frames[\'Frame1\']',false)">Science - Select one.</option>

However, when I preview the page and the first jump menu, the target page still appears in its own window.

Can you give me just a little more detail? I've gotten a headache from all searches I've done with some combination of the words: IFrame, menu, target, onload. I've gotten close but not close enough to figure this out. I am at the totally stumped level.

Yes. I always preview in a browser (from the icon at the top of the Window). I've only previewed in IE, because I just also previewed in Netscape. Same thing happens in both browsers.

Maybe this is not worth all the trouble, and users will find this more cumbersome than going to a new page, but I really would have liked to make it work so I could decide for myself.

Thank you.
 
And you are sure the name of the Iframe are Frame1? By default FP would have called it I1 but perhaps you changed it?

I changed the name. Was that a mistake?

Jens, I feel really stupid having to admit this, but I thought it was the fair thing to do.

Since I had set up my pages with no awareness of or intention to use jump menus... here it comes... I set them up on template pages. So... I put one on a blank page and tried again. You know the answer... it worked :)

So, the basis task were very simple. I just messed it up. Who could have expected someone to make such a basic error?
