Hi all, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to make a link appear inside a layer on the same page? If not is there another way the same result can be acheived. Thanks in advance.

do we take it that you mean can a link target attribute load content into a div on the page.
The answer to that is
Not with ASP (or HTML)

you need to use javascript either as a AJAX operation to grab content from the server and display it in the appropriate IDed element or you can use javascript to show previously loaded content.

Are you saying you want content from some other url to be placed into a layer? Maybe an include or even an iframe...

No iframes necessary, and it CAN be done with CSS:

That was a nice tutorial. Reading over some of the comments, it sounds a little buggy to me.

I haven't tried it, I don't have much call to do such a thing. It's an alternative, and maybe someone will come along and work out the bugs

Anyway, it is always nice to have another tool for toolbox. Thanks for the tip.
