Using a javascript function to load a page in an iFrame

Question

I'm trying to use a Javascript function to load a web page in an iframe named "cake". How can I do that?

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <button onclick=[function]>Load page in iframe</a>
  </body>
</html>

There doesn't seem to be an iframe named "cake" in your HTML, but in general, document.frames['cake'].location.href = what_ever;. Or give an idfor your iframe and say document.getElementById('iframe_id').src ='what_ever';. Also it's recommended to get familiar with the elements you're working with ... — Teemu

I know, making an iframe named "cake" is what I want (intend) to make. — MistaBoodadee

You're asking how to access an iframe, not how to create a one ... — Teemu

function changeUrl() {
    var site = "https://www.google.com/";
    document.getElementsByName('iFrameName')[0].src = site;
}

    <html>
      <head>
      </head>
        <body>
          <button onclick="changeUrl()">Load page in iframe</button>
          <iframe name="iFrameName"></iframe>

This worked:

<html>

<head>


<script type="text/javascript">

function changeUrl() {
    var site = "1.wav";
    document.getElementsByName('cake')[0].src = site;
}


</script>


</head>

<body>


<center>

<iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com" height=400 width=400 frameborder=0 name = "cake" style =""></></iframe>

<br>

<br>

<button onclick="changeUrl()">Load page in iframe</button>

</center>


</body>

</html>
