'ordinary' user so that the site is easy to use on day one, but as he/she 
becomes more literate he/she can use the options of their own choice." 


I agree, but just how low do you go?.. on my current job I maintain 
my dept's intranet site... things are so painfully simple a 2 year old could use 
the site with ease... unfortunately the adults using the site still have 
difficulty, or maybe these are less than ordinary users... I dunno. I 
think that in making it too simple it takes away the point of literacy for 
some... i.e. they don't attempt to learn.

Re: [WSG] DIV Target

[blqberi]

Thanks for your help everyone... I guess what I am trying to do is 
replicate the whole iframes thing using div tags - where I have various content 
load within a certain section of my page an, if I'm making any sense. (I'm 
also trying to convince a friend to do table-less designs, and that is one point 
I need to show him... but wasn't sure how to do it). If that doesn't make 
much sense I apologize.. my head is all over the place right now which is not a 
good thing.

Thanks again.

  No, Kerry wanted something _javascript_ related, like what Samuel 
  mentioned.There are a couple options. One is you could load content 
  that'shidden, but is still on the page. The other is getting content 
  fromthe server when it's requested. The second is harder than the 
  first.What exactly are you trying to do? A more specific idea will

  I'll just add a bit more to this:If you want to load 
  entire web pages embedded into the current page you will have to use the 
  iframe, if just want to change simple text/html within a div then you will 
  have to use the innerhtml property (or use this method that came up on 
  delicious this morning: http://slayeroffice.com/articles/innerHTML_alternatives/)Samuel

  browser window) embedded in  the page that then has its location 
  controlled by external  links/buttons/whatever. In that 
  case a href="" 
  target="iframe"Link/a Where target is the id 
  attribute of the iframe that you created  earlier in the page and href 
  is the page you want it to load.
