I'm unsure how to utilize an iFrame in a link on a website so the frame of the site remains on screen along with the portion of an eStore that is online...

The site is here: http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4/index.htm
Loading the Shopping Cart works fine if you choose the GO SHOPPING link on top ... it basically loads the store in an iFrame with:
<iframe src="http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4/store/index.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%">

However, if I wish to load just a specific item from within the Shopping Cart via a link on this page, e.g. BATH BOMBS from the left hand inset, I'm unsure how to bring up that portion of the shopping cart.
Currently, I am doing an <a href="...."> </a>. Is there a way, instead, to load just the specific portion of the page I am trying to get to via an iFrame or something similar? (The page I would like this example to bring up is the same as if you click on the GO SHOPPING link in the top menu bar and then the LUXURY BATH BOMBS product on the right hand side.)

Thanks you.

That will load the page I want, but how to I make that a link? e.g.
<a href=" [the iframe link above] "> Bath Bombs </a>

I'm unsure how to load the complete page with the iframe in a link.
When you go to the website ( http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4 ) and click on GO SHOPPING along the top menu, and then the right side item, BATH BOMBS, that is the exact page that I want to load when you just click on "BATH BOMBS" from the main page in that left side inset.

I'm thinking your actually needing some JS.

OK ... I can see partially where this can help but would require a complete redesign/change to the main site page I think. Alternatively, if a person could carry forth a variable somehow within the link from the main page ...

e.g. <a href="somaluxury.net/dev4/store.htm?product=63> Bath Bombs </a>

The page store.htm already loads the iframe of the entire shopping cart, so if there was a way to make this work so when a user clicks BATH BOMBS, the store.htm page loads and chooses the proper variable, in this case 63, to display the appropriate iframe instead of the entire shopping cart as it does now? Does this make sense and, if so, is there a way to make that work without a complete redesign?

I'm lost on what your looking for on the original question. Are you trying to link to an iframe or have a link that's on a page being loaded in an Iframe load a specific way?

Sorry ... hard to explain.

If a user clicks on BATH BOMBS on the main page, it should take them to a page inside the shopping cart with just the BATH BOMBS item on the screen, as if one drilled-down to that item from within the cart. I can see where your suggestion of using java script per your example page would work but I think that would require me to redo the index.htm page if I am interpreting correctly.

Currently I load the entire shopping cart via an iframe as I want to keep the header and footer of the site there at all times and CC Shopping Cart does not allow me that option. But to load just one section of that shopping cart, one item or one item group, via a single click from the main page is what I'm unsure how to accomplish.

I think my suggestion is the way to go. Just replace the src's with the proper link to your shop content.

Have you got such a page, with only the bath bombs? An easy way of showing specific items in an iframe would be to create a page with ONLY those items.
A more elegant way would perhaps be using php and mysql and store the items in a data base, and then call the ones that are needed.

I'm not so well versed in php that I could write that script for you (I would be able to create the database, though), but there are others with more knowledge around.

If you go for the easy solution, making a page for each item group, I would not set the iframe width to 100% if I were you. Make it 620px wide and put it into your textbox class. That leaves room for the small menu on the left to be visible.

Come to think about it, there is also another way. You can use and anchor to a specific position on the shopping page. If you don't know how to do this, then holler!

I may be missing something, but I don't believe I can replace a link on my main page with your suggestion so an existing link pulls up and displays the appropriate portion of the shopping cart. As the main page is setup, the inset has this code:

<div id="products_bath_inset" class="text6">
<a href="http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4/store/viewcategory.php?groupid=8">Luxury Bath Salts</a><br>
<a href="http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4/store/viewitem.php?productid=48">Bubble Bath</a><br>
<a href="http://www.somaluxury.net/dev4/store/viewitem.php?productid=36">Bath Bombs</a><br>
</div> <!-- end product_1_bath_inset-->

The 3rd link down is the item ... so, you're suggesting I change this to:

<a target="iframeswitch" href="bathbomb.html">Bath Bombs</a>

and then create a new page named bathbomb.html

<iframe name="iframeswitch" src="bathbomb.html" width="300" height="200" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

to place the above code in? If that is the case, with each change we make to the 1st page for specials, we'd have to create a page like this?

Would that carry over and work with the CC Shopping Cart so people could place an item in their cart, move around the site, and still retain what is in their cart for checkout?
