Hello,

Sorry for what might be a very dumb question......

If I have a webpage with a simple menu list on the left and a content section to the right.......

Is it possible to create a menu item that pulls a script into the content section without changing the rest of the page?

If so how? (In as basic and clear an explanation as possible, assume basic knowledge...sorry)

Thanks,

Nick.

Frames. Or AJAX. But really, unless you've got a pressing reason to do either of those it's not worth it. For the sake of a slightly bigger download time (which can be minimised if you're careful and use CSS for styling) you're far better off using just standard pages. If you're concerned about keeping your menu in one file for ease of update you can always use SSI to uild the pages dynmaically on the server.
