IMHO, the fact that this thread has moved on to suggest alternatives may teach the OP something, but does not necessary answer his question. If his client is dead on the idea, the OP will have no choice other than imlplementing a frames solution. <op> ..., [my client] wants the new web page to open up only in the contents area and leave his header and menu intact. Now, I am not a proponent of frames, but this sounds like frames to me. Is there a way to do this using Web Standards and CSS (my preference) ? </op> I read the above, then skimmed the thread and didn't see one post mentionning the use of a dynamic frameset to avoid building a site with frames. I thought my suggestion was a "variation of linking to the site", an "alternative" that has not been discussed. I'm sorry if this contribution was neither excellent nor timely ;) Best regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
