How to code multiple links to similar a page?

[drhoctor]

Hi folks,
I've got what I think is a relatively simple problem;

I have a ul with multiple li links that I want to point to a page with an iframe. The only difference between each is the destination iframe url. What is the best way to code this? I have a total of 16 li links and would prefer not to have a webpage for each.


http://www.bjmarine.net/newsite/index.html shows a set of 4 li in a ul on the left hand side under featured boats which currently each link to a different page with an iframe. This is an example of what I want to streamline.

I am familiar with Java and C#, but it's been a while and would really like some help.

Thanks for your input in advance!

You could do this with JavaScript, but if you have a server side language such as PHP enabled, this would be a more rock-solid alternative

Create a file boats.php (you can of course call it anything you like, this is just for demo purposes).

In boats.php, type;

PHP: Select all

<?php
if ( $_GET['src'] ) { // check if 'src' parameter is set

    $src = $_GET['src']; // assign variable
    
    echo '<iframe src="' . $src . '" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>'; // print out HTML

} else {
    
    echo 'No content specified'; // alternative content if user reached page with parameter

}
?>

Then you simply structure your links like so;

HTML: Select all

<a href="path/to/boats.php?src=http://iframesource.com">Link Content</a>
