error pages and an iFrame

[llamaXing@gmail.com]

My website uses an iFrame to display information, and when you click
any of the links, only the iFrame changes and nothing else.
What I would like to do is, when a link is clicked, to see if there are
any errors (400, 404, 500, etc.) before changing the iFrame, and if so,
it displays the error page; if there are no errors, then send the user
the information requested. Is it possible to do this, or would I need
to use something like ASP/PHP?

Unless my sleepy brain is missing something..... don't you get the desired
result by default?
If no such... then the iframe displays a 404 else it displays the page
referenced in the link?
