location.replace question

[batman1]

<A HREF="javascript:location.replace('gardencontest.html')" target="iframe_name">Advance</A>

Hi Folks...I've got a database layout that produces an iframe and a link to call up a html page in the iframe if requested....among other bits of data....and at the same time I don't want the link to leave a footprint in the browser history....if I leave out the "target name" the page is loaded into the current window....with no history, but with the target info present it fails to load....

thx

Surely what you need something like:

iframe_name.location.replace();

?

Not sure where the iframe sits in the document tree - document.iframe_name? or document.frames.iframe_name?
