Hi David,

Thanks for your reply.

The fact is that I wanted to avoid the frames. If you look at the current
work (http://www.bipsa.ch/airglaciers/fr/photogallerie.asp), the central
part of the web site (between the menu and the footer) is a div that
contains all the text. I've created one top menu, included in all pages, and
a bottom footer, also included in all pages. If you look at the other pages,
you will see that using DIV allow me to always show the top menu and footer,
without using frames (so every page may be bookmarkable). Now, I would like
to create the "photogalle ry" in wich I've vertical thumbnails, and the
selected image (as described in the first thread). Creating separate page
for each image (even dynamically by a server side script) isn't possible
since every page must then include the top menu and bottom one.

Maybe I'm on the wrong way doing it, but I'm sure it's possible to select an
image on a div and then load the selected image in an other div.

PS: Very great site the one you sent !!! I like it !

Why? If you are going to reintroduce all their problems using a different
technology, you might as well use frames as they support is better.

But still using up screen space all the time with something the user
probably doesn't need.

That doesn't follow. Why can't you include both parts using the script? If
you moved all your deprecated presentational HTML in to CSS, then moved
your CSS and JavaScript in to external files the bytes repeatedly
transfered would insignificant, so it can't be a bandwidth issue.

Its possible, but not (in this instance) smart.
