OK, so I am setting up the site for http://www.glamgirlgifts.com, and they want where the links on the left and the header at the top never change or reload, and have the window on the right display everything.

So I have 2 pickles... 1. do I use one large php page and have all the different things show up in hidden tables, or do I use an iFrame, and set up the buttons to controll the iFrame?

2. HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPP!!!! I don't know a whole lot about scripting in PHP or iFrames. I know HTML, and I can do CSS, but I don't know how to controll an iFram using external links.

(BTW, I have set up some rollover states, but they don't seem to want to work in FF. I used the onmouseover = and onmouseclick = commands, but they are only responding in IE.)

yes, kind of... yours even changes pages, I think this is what they're looking for, but they could want one that never changes in the address bar. I am sure this is what they want though. How does this work? everything is exactly the same mins you change the one thing?

BTW, is there a way to do it without it going to the top of the page each time???

its all php

u need a header first of all, in the header you will include the banner and side bar.

my header looks like:

CODE
<html>
<head>
<title>PhoenixF1re Designs</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon2.ico" >

<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.GradientWipe(Duration=1)">
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.GradientWipe(Duration=1)">


</head>

</HEAD>


idk if THAT helps, but thats what i have

save ur header file as header.php and and then on every page u have
include this FIRST:
CODE
<?php include('header.php'); ?>


that ensures that ur header (banner and sidebar) is on *EVERY page

(*on every that u have included the <?php include('header.php'); ?> tag)

If you have access to PHP, I'd use PHP. Frames are nasty things, and most web designers try to stay away from them. They make it very hard for users to bookmark a specific state of your website, whereas that it is easier to do with PHP.

I got it working with iFrames. It works well for now, and I'd use PHP, but I don't know how.
