Hello, I am creating a webpage and it uses a table for layout and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to open up pages into one of the layout cells with links? I have three rows of cells, one for a banner, one for the actual links and then the next row contains the cell where I would like the links to open the pages into. I know how to use javascript to open pages and images but i cannot figure out how to define a cell as the place for the page to open into. Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It is not a very stable and ideal solution to open an page in a cell. And I don't think that it is possible too. Maybe you can insert a DIV inside the table cells or work with IFRAMEs

Your best bet is to use Layers (iFrames, a.k.a. Div). Name the Layer and point your loader script to the layer by name.
Also you can create several overlapping layers giving each a different name and property of 'hide'. Load your pages inside the layers and just apply a onEvent ='show' property to any of the layers as needed using javascript.
Example: onMouseDown= document.LayerName.Show (...whatever)<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
