Clicking a link without redirecting the whole page?

Question

Is there a code or anything i can use for my sports page, where when someone clicks the links on the left side, that it will only direct the right side? for example, go here: http://www.myleague.com/animcont

when you click the links on the left side, the left side stays there. the right side is the only one that changes.

Answer 1

what you are talking about is a frame. if you check the source of the page you'll see that the left frame has different info than the right.
left frame is listed as http://499angels.net/animcont/main/leftnav2.html
and the right is another page
http://www.myleague.com/php/page.php?p=signup&t=myleague&lng=eng&l=animcont&g=classic

This is a fairly simple (and detailed) script
go to
http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/
They have all kinds of tags and scripts to help you out.

Answer 2

The page was made using "frames". It is a lot more complex then just one or two lines of code for a link. Do a search for a tutorial, or get a book on HTML, and look up "frames". It is not difficult, but more than involved that what you would want posted in a YA reply.

Answer 3

That is because, that site is designed using Frames. When a site is designed using Frames, the designer has set the option of only the right side opening new pages and the left side staying static.

So, its not possible to change them unless the site designer changes them.

Answer 4

use the target command when in one frame to direct another frame to load the link contents. The best place to learn this information is at htmlgoodies.com or webmonkey. There is no need to repeat it here because it would take more than the allowed typing space to explain it correctly. Searn under "target" and Link to get your html.

Answer 5

You can either use framnes or layers to refresh only one area of the page.

This doesn't completely load all components again. It only load the area to be refreshed with new content.
