Hi havoc.

 

Well, there are some ways to accomplish this using CSS and JavaScript but since Internet Explorer does not support them, I'll suppose you don't want to use them.

 

Another possible way would be to use an <iframe> tag. An iframe is basically a little box in your page inside which you load another HTML file.

 

Check this website:

just be forewarned that IFrame is relatively new and doesn't work with Netscape lower than v6. I'm not sure how far back it works in IE, but I think it started out as an IE tag.

Even though I'm not sure what he means, I've used something like this before to change the contents between a DIV tag by clicking a link:

 

><script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function change(divtochange, newtext) {
   divtochange.innerHTML = newtext;
}
//-->
</script>
<a href="javascript:change(testdiv, 'See it changed!');">(click here to change)</a><br>
<br>
<div id="testdiv">Original text.</div>

 

This though I think might only work in IE. I really don't know much about dhtml. Dreamweaver has a bunch of functions for stuff like this.

Hi,

 

You could:

 

1) Use layers. Possible to do, but if certain aspects of the browser are turned off or it does not support CSS perfectley, this is a waste

 

2) Iframe. Bad bad bad. Has too many potential security flaws. Also in IE 6 the standard is to have it as a warning before use. Not good if someone keeps on popping onto your site all the time.

 

3) Flash. Something I have just found very useful. Flash can "import" text files and display them on screen. Something else it can do is support HTML and CSS in the text files. Hence no re-loading is ever done, and flash works in everything if you have the flash player

Hi,

 

Not bad, although I dislike Iframes as you might have understood already.

 

As a side note, I suggest you make the width of the page smaller by about 50 px. On my 1064 wide screen, i have to scroll left or right to see the full content which is a tad annoyance to any surfer
