Stylesheet instate Frames

Hi all :-)

i have a web application using DHTML menus (hiermenu).
i do not want to use frames. i want to use stylesheets but i don't know how to do it.
for example:

when i select a link in my menu , i want to become it on the
same page but i want that the menus stay unchanged in the top
of the page(HOME).

do any one has some ideas?
thanks
sylvano

how I would do it

okay so there a re a few ways that I can think of to do this.

1.The best way, in my opinion, would be with php. I like php. You can make an idnex.php page and use includes like this:

<?php
if ( isset( $_GET['page'] ) )
{
switch( $_GET['page'] )
{
case 'usercomments';
include("profiles/usercomments.php");
break; } }
?>

Doing this in <div's>, which can be done with a stylesheet, or just in the page, can let you define different areas by passing $page through the url.

2.Php may not be the most practical solution though. So without frames, try inline frames, or <iframes>. This can be done this way:

<iframe></iframe>

you can find specifications for this at:

htmlhelp.com

There are probably better resources but I just thought of this first.
With inline frames, you can specify smaller pages to be set in bigger pages; it's much like the php include function.

Aside ffrom those two, I don't many others. Anyone else wants to add, or correct me, have at it. Hope this wasn't too lengthy.

What I do is I set up my stlye sheet with classes.

Code:

.navigation
 {
   postion: absolute;
   top: 1px;
   left: 1px;
   width: 50px;
   height: 50px;
 }
.content
 {
   postion: absolute;
   top: 1px;
   left: 51px;
   width: 500px;
   height: 500px;
 }

Save the stylsheet as css file(filename.css)
Then in my page

Code:

<html>
<head>
 <title>Title</title>
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="filename.css" />
</head>
<body>
 <div class="navigation">
  <!-- This is your navigation area -->
 </div>
 <div class="content">
  <!-- This is where your content goes -->
 </div>
</body>
</html>
