I Need Help please

[FuLLyAuTo]

Can someone help me out here, I want to know how I can make a page show up in a diff area with a link, without using frames. I think someone told me DHTML does this, and if it does how? If it doesnt, how? (I have Front Page 2000 if it would help)
Thanks Alot,

This isn't something I know how to do, but I can point you in the right direction. You are right that you can do it with DHTML. Take a look at some webmaster pages and do searches for "Layers DHTML".

May not be any help, but just incase :-)

In netscape 6 and IE4/5 you can use the <IFRAME> tag. you can size it and place it where you want and the html page will load directly into this frame. It is a self-sustained frame, but your regular page will not be in a frameset. it will continue to be in a one-page format just having a free-floating frame included.

it will not work in netscape4.x
Depending on the html page which must be loaded, you can use a <LAYER> tag by setting the src property of the layer tag you can load a page into this tag (will be ignored by netscape 6 and ie4/5 so no conflict here). However, if the pages which must load into the layer/iframe has more than just standard html tags (e.g. if they include javascripts etc) then netscape4.x may not be able to process it properly. I do not recommend you use layers for loading external contents in netscape 4.x (works nicely with netscape 6).

Here is an example:
<iframe id='myframe' src='mypage.html'></iframe>
<layer name='myframe' src='mypage.html'></layer>

To load a frame by script after the fact:
ie4: document.all.myframe.src = ...
ie5/ns6: document.getElementById('myframe').src=...
ns4x (layers): document.myframe.load(...);
