<p class="MsoNormal">“<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black;background:white">There is not any html anchor that tells you to exchange one part of the page for another. You need to use the DOM for that, just as in x3d you use the SAI.</span>”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Surely you know that code like</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href=’someurl’ target=’someframename’> …</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">just does that, replace the content of the frame with another. But if you mean that an anchor cannot do this for other html content, then of course you are right. That is why I use the (i)frame in my argument for comparison. And imo the
inline tag could be used for this.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black;background:white">I guess I haven’t seen that example. But the x3d or html anchor does not care whether an iframe or an inline is referenced, it just knows to unload the current
document and load the new, or that the scene is the same, but the viewpoint is new.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black;background:white">The specs here (<a href="https://doc.x3dom.org/author/Networking/Anchor.html">https://doc.x3dom.org/author/Networking/Anchor.html</a>) clearly allows referencing
an (i)frame on the 2d webpage from an anchor within x3d: “</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#333333;background:#F9F9F9">Hint: set parameter to target=frame_name to load target url into another frame.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black;background:white">”</span></p>
