I have this code, to navigate a URL with javascript in an iframe, but it does not work. Why?

For example, I want navigate to site when I click link1.

<script language="javascript">
function nav()
{
window.navigate('',target="DBox");
}   
</script>   


<a href="javascript:nav();">link1</a>

<iframe name="DBox" src="http://example" frameborder="0" style="width:100%;height:100%"></iframe>

Simple HTML:

<a target="DBox" href="http://site.com">link1</a>

Or with just call this with JavaScript:

window.open("http://site.com", "DBox");

This will be navigate to url in the same window.

window.top.location.href = "http://example.com";
