I think I'm missing something here or most likely didn't explain it properly.

I have a page "template.cfm" which pulls in fontnames from a database and 
displays them in a dropdown menu.

  Below is what appear when you view the page for the first time. I hope it 
displays OK  :-)


-------------------------------------------
|       Select Family ...         |  GO! |
-------------------------------------------
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
| 
|
|                              iFrame1                                        |
| 
|
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
| 
|
|                              iFrame2                                        |
| 
|
  ----------------------------------------------------------------

When you select a font family (Garamond) from the dropdown list it loads a 
template called "getfontname.cfm" and displays the font names of that 
specific font family in "iFrame1" I have this no problem. Now when you 
click on a link of a font name within iFrame1
I want the graphic file pulled into iFrame2 of the same page (template.cfm)

----------------------------------------------------
|       Select Family ...                     |  GO! |
|       Garamond                               -------|       Use clicks on 
Garamond and iFrame1 is updated with font names (This works OK)
|       Times                                      |
-------------------------------------------

|         [Image] Garamond Bold                                |    User 
clicks on Garamond Bold and image file is loaded in iFrame2
|         [Image] Garamond Italic                                |

  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
| 
|
|                              iFrame2 
   |     Can't get this to work

I'm not understanding something here...going in circles.
