How do I do this:
linking an external page into another page's IFRAME

I don't understand the question? if you just want to load an external page into an iframe set its SRC attribute to the URL.

However, if you are saying that your site design implements a frameset and from your frame that handles your navigation you want to be able to click a link and call an external page into an iframe on a page inside your content frame, that could get kind of tricky.

I would suggest poking around a javascript forum and see if you can do something like this

document.frames[i].elements[i]

I am dont think the above approach will work, but it gives you an idea about what you have to do (I only know rudementary javascript) Hope this helps.
