    <iframe id="test" src ="checkresult.html" height="1000px" width="100%" frameborder="1">
    </iframe >
    </td>   
    <td align="left" width="80%">

    </iframe></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

Answer 1

If you would like a link in one frame to open in another, you need to refer to the other’s name attribute in the link’s target attribute. So in this case, a link in checkresult.html would need to have a target of test to open in the msgstatus frame:

<a href="something.html" target="test">Link text</a>
