website programming question

[Kaido]

First, visit this site and click on a few of the number links (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) under the category drop-down box:

http://www.adamssite.com/html/

See how the content section (the template thumbnails) loads new content, but the rest of the page doesn't refresh? How do they do that?

It does refresh the whole page...

It's called an iframe.

ah, thanks. brushing up on my HTML/XHTML 😉 never got too far with frames in the first place tho 😀

here's another question:

using an iframe, how would you program the page in the frame to fit in the frame? like if I did a 400px width for the iframe and made several frame pages with content.

1337 guys use AJAX 😉

one step at a time 😀 html, xhtml, javascript, css, php, in that order. anything else to toss into the list?

AJAX would be XML, DOM & Javascript, actually.

Picky picky. but yea, your right 🙂 But to be fair, its not ajax, but you could use javascript and css (well I guess you dont really need the css.) to make pages that require no refresh.

iframes are crap. use divs and AJAX
