Urgent help. I DONT WANT FRAMES

[unique1tt3]

new at building in php. Been doign preaty good so far but a little stuck now. Here is the probem.

I am trying to make it so when a person clicks on a link it loads the page in the center of the page. Now i am using a program called Code Charge. This program splts the HTML and the PHP. So i guess what i am asking is such.

How can i make the links open a page in my iniial index page without using frames. I dont want scroll bars in the middle of my page. I would want the content loaded from the link to make the whole page scroll if needed. I am fine if the page reloads but i just dont want to see scrolling for the page and scrolling for the content

God i sound like a fool. Ever feel like you know what you want to do but cant explain it worth a damn. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

you can do that .. but with dhtml 🙂

Or, you can use frames, and just turn off the scroll bars....if that is your only objection to frames.

Or I guess the other possiblity is simply to include a file in the middle...shrug...should work fine

Heres what I do:

I process all content (most of it anyways) through default.php

I create the layout using a table.
top row:
banner

second row:
1st <td> = menu include( <? include ("inc/menu.inc"); ?>)
menu items link to:
"default.asp?page=content_here"

2nd <td> = content include ( <? include ("page/$page.htm"); ?>)
3rd <td> = advertizements, right column content

third row:
footer (copyright, legal, etc...)

you can use the querystring to tell the content td which page to display.

this way, you never have to duplicate any code. - it's much easier to edit too if you organise your directories well.

if you want to see it in action see my website (button below)

look at the address bar to see the querystring values

You could have a lot of fun with RPC and have all sorts of bits on your page updated and rewritten on demand.

You'd have a hidden iframe. When you want to change the contnt of a section of your page, you reset that iframe's src attribute to request the appropriate script. The response that comes back contains a lump of Javascript that is run as soon as it is loaded, and what that Javascript does is rewrites the relevant section of your page. Everything resizes and reflows to fit - no scrollbars except those for the page itself.

A nice and simple introduction is here.
