I posted this in another section, but will post here as it was suggested that somebody here might be able to help!

I am trying to have a link open up in a div tag further down the page.

Instead of having it open in a new page.

Here's the link, www.customrockcreations.ca/sample/products.php

I would like the links to open in the prodbody section.

any help is appreciated.

The nice "lady" suggested i need some sort of php or javascript to make this work. Seeing as the site is using php already she suggested here.

Does what i'm asking to do make any sense?

thanks!!!!

What you need, is to use an javascript asynchronous call (AJAX) to get the content of the page, and to use javascript to put that html into the div.
But, you will need to work your destination page to not have another <head> nor <body> element, but just plain HTML, or it could confuse the browser when rendering the current page.

Or you could go simplier, and use an iframe rather than a div.
It's designed to be used in cases like this.

i was thinking that an iframe might actually work.

i'll play with it and see what i can do. THANK YOU tripy!

i'll post when i get it. (being optamistic!)

ok i have gotten the page to go into the space, but it has no css formatting.

very odd i think.

That's because you didn't included any.
An iframe is like a frame, but inline in the document flow.
So, you must have a <head>, <body>, and declare the <link> to your css.

i actually thought about that over dinner! so i need to set it up just like a normal html page right? then create a seperate css sheet?

thanks!
