hey i was wondering how do you make only the content change when you click a link, so the page doesnt reload or anything, but only the content changes, and not have it in a frame with a scrollbar.

a friend said use php include? but i have no idea how to do that. so if anyone could help that be great.

i have tryed <? included ('home.php') ?> and the file is in the same folder etc and still nothing, nothing shows up even when i try link it it doesnt work, i have tryed over 30 php sites and i still cant do it, so im hoping someone here can help.

A PHP include will be included at the server, so you will have to reload the page for any changes to take effect.

If you want to do it without re-loading, you'll either have to use an iframe or AJAX. AJAX is Asynchronous Javascript And Xml, and basically uses javascript to create an XMLHTTP object to make a call to the server to get the data behind the scenes, and update the page.

Stick AJAX into Google to learn more.

no it must be reload the hole page then, as i want it in php include

there were good tuts for that on techtuts.com but the site broke lol.. i was gonna make a tut for it but there wasnt really any demand

It can be done with a Javascript, although the scrollbar will depend on how much content you have.

Something like this.

<div id="changing_div">
Some content.
</div>
 
...
 
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementById("changing_div").innerHTML = "Some other content."
-->
</script>

i want it in php, and every tut i have tryed it just doesnt work :S i have no idea.
