Opening an external link to a target

Question

Hope this is the right place for this question and that it's
not too stupid............
I'm using CS4 to construct a simple web site using a template
with a navigator bar, header and footer.
In the Left hand navigation panel I want to be able to
associate some buttons (Spry menu maybe ?) to opening an external
URL. So far that's fine, but additionally I want to do the
following when the link opens in my site:-
1) I want the link to open in the main content window on the
RHS of my page (ie I don't want a new browser window to open up)
2) I also want to be able to left or right justify the
content of the page when it opens in the RHS window (I've seen
something called openstyle="rtl" that can be used for languages
that read Right to Left (Hebrew etc)
3) The content of the external URL is an image, ie GIF or
PNG, not text.
On older sites (DW3) I got close to doing this with Frames,
but I still could not do the Right justify bit. The images always
opened left justified and I had to scrolll to the right side
manually. I figured that Frames were rather out of favour now and I
should be moving on with some of the new templates, widgets etc.
You can see my dilema by looking at www.firegrass.co.uk at my
tester page.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil

Then you would have to use frames or iframes to accomplish
that. Ew.

You could only do this if you are also in control of the
pages that are
being opened in that frame.
> 3) The content of the external URL is an image, ie GIF

So then why the left/right justification?
