Update body text or images without using frames

Report · Mar 26, 2009

Is there a way to update information displayed in the dody section of a specific page without using frames? For example, clicking on a button in the header, footer, or even body will change information displayed in a specific section on the body without changing anything in the header or footer... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can be done, but is usually a bad idea with various usability problems.
Simple, flat pages are still the easiest and most userfriendly way.

You can use javascript to do that, but as Micha says, that can introduce
accessability concerns into your site. DW has a built-in behavior to do
such things (SetText of Container).

Thanks for the feedback but I'm still having difficulties with this. What would I type into the New HTML window given the file structure indicated below?

http://localhost/Test_Site/index.php ( Home Page )
http://localhost/Test_Site/Contact_Us_Image.php ( image to move into div "mainContent" )

Thank You
