I want to create a page that has a frame in which all the content is served in that one frame.

The idea is to NOT load the main page over and over and just the content iframe section.

I have not messed with frames in a long time and cant remember how to reference the frame content area to be relaoded with each new selection.

The page has a list of button links at the top and when you select say teh info button, the iframe serves the info.html file and then if you choose the button at the top team the team.html file is placed into the iframe.

Any idea or where to read. Im googling but nothing right off the bat so far

<IFRAME border=0 name=content src="defaultpagetoload.htm" frameBorder=0 width="100%" height=340>
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
</IFRAME>

links will be target="content"


by the way... please don't use IFRAMES if you can at all help it (and you almost always can). most all other solutions are better. help keep the internet a nicer place for all of us

so please tell me what a better way is to not reload the page each time.

I get over 150,000 hits a day and its eating up my BW to reload my images in my template

And trust me i know i just was wondering if this was my only option.

images should be cached and so should your style sheet... the same visitor loading new pages shouldn't be grabbing the images multiple times.

you could try compressing some of your files, or exporting styles to a style sheet. alternatively you could get more bandwidth

Oh another thing you could try is using CSS to make buttons rather than using images.

But I have to work with what I got ya know.

as long as they are static images (not server generated),

is exactly right. Iframes arent going to make any difference at all.
