    dynamic table

    Hi,
    Im designing web site like below:

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    | logo here | welcome text here
    | |
    | |
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    | buttons here |
    | | main content here
    | |
    | |
    | |
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    The idea was to create dynamic html table instead of frames.
    How can I refresh only the "main content cell" without
    refreshing the whole page? The refresh-functionality was intended
    to put behind buttons at the "button cell". Is it possible to open
    complete html pages (e.g. <html> ... </html> in their own files) to
    the main cell area? What techiniques should I use/best to use (php,
    java/jsp, javascript, DOM)? Is there any every-browser-compatible
    solution? I read that layers are brewser dependent. Sample code?

    Thanks Juha Rossi

    No can do, when a page changes then the whole page is reread and redrawn.
    However if there are graphical elements in the page then they should come out
    of the browsers cache (put all your js in a file and that too will be cached).

    What you want to do it precisly what frames were created for, except that you
    dont want to use them. You will just have to slim down your pages into
    cachable components (images, javascript, stylesheets) and let the browser
    cache speed things up.

    This is really a browser / HTML issue than PHP, JSP or whatever.

      This is a design question. There are better groups for that. You could
      also use CSS to do the layout stuff.

      Still a design question, here i think iframe is what you need.

      What techiniques should I use/best to use (php,[color=blue]
      > java/jsp, javascript, DOM)?[/color]

      Any CGI language will give you the ability to include the logo, welcome
      text, buttons and main text the way you want it.

        innerHTML could do the job with a small iframe of 1x1 that fetch the data
