reload content without loading nav bars etc

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 10.2008

Bassically what the title says, I have a php css web page and want only my content window to change pages when I click on the links in the nav bar.
The nav bar is outside the area I want to reload so I’m not quite sure how to go about doing this.
The main reason for wanting this setup is because I have media in a side panel which can’t be interrupted.

Thanks in advance.

@scragarFeb 10.2008 — 2 choices, either resort to frames, or use ajax for users with javascript, and simply accept that the remainder will have to reload your page anyway.

personaly I recomend the Ajax method.

@prongs_386authorFeb 10.2008 — thanks for the reply,

i am however using a uinix web server and don't have asp available.

Does anyone have any other ideas? maybe just pure javascript?

@bathurst_guyFeb 10.2008 — Um, scragar actually didn't say anything about asp, just AJAX which is JavaScript.

@prongs_386authorFeb 11.2008 — oh, really?

all my searches came up with asp integrated stuff... I guess because it is a microsoft product thats where the examples were.

I'll have another look at it, I did actually manage to get what i wanted through an iframe and some javascript, but I'll definately give the ajax a go.

Is it automattically supported?? or does the web server have to have some specific classes installed?

@bathurst_guyFeb 11.2008 — JavaScript is client side scripting so there is nothing special with the server, but the end users browser must have JavaScript turned on.

@TheRaveFeb 11.2008 — AJAX is more a concept rather than a language. Its just using javascript to reload parts/sections of a page by querying any standard web server that outputs html.

Its more commonly used with php (and asp) to dynamically fill the parts of the page as required. PHP or ASP aren't required though it could just be plain html.

Is there any reason why you want to do this? If there's images in your nav bar(s) then these will be cached and not reloaded. The only thing that's being reloaded is the html text which is really not much data.
