html help

Okay, I'm not sure if this is possible, so...

I have a layout that does not use frames. Instead, I use the DIV code, which creates a little box with a scrollbar.
Outside the box, on the side, I have my links.

I was wondering if there was any way for me to make pages popup inside the DIV box, instead over the whole page. I know how to do it with frames; I'm just not sure how to do it with DIV and CLASS -- if it's even possible.

There's my page. None of the links on the side work yet, because I haven't really started it yet. But could someone tell me if that is possible?

Click to expand...

I use MS FrontPage and have frames and whatever I click on it I can set it to either it opens a new window or in another frame......if you are interested I'll PM you my old site to see the code if you don't have frontpage....I haven't done HTML since I was 16 and alot has changed, but if you can figure it out .....

I don't believe it can be made with only DIV tags but it would be possible with IFRAME. Now I'm not very good with HTML so I can't help you more than this. If you need a good resource check w3.org.

I don't know that you can do that with DIV tags- what you are wanting to do, is load two browser pages into one- which is the purpose of frames.. the DIV tags normally do just htat, they divide the webpage into sections, but still the same page.. I would definately look into I Frames.. I saw y our site, and the layout is great- and I Frames would suit it very well allowing you the same look with your template and give you the capability to load pages the way you want to. you can go to here to learn about Iframes: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/96/37/index2a.html?tw=authoring but to get a simple cut and paste code that you can play with, go here: http://builder.com.com/5100-31-5077385.html

Just remember that there are a lot of netscape users who can't view frames, so you might want to include the browser detection code and offer an alternative.

I frams are a whole lot easier than normal frames the code is releticly simple

<iframe width=150 height=200 src="page1.html" name="iframe" align=left> </iframe>

Then your Links will call

<a href="page2.htm" target="iframe">Page 2</a>

Should work moreon iFrames here http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/96/37/index2a_page3.html?tw=authoring
