I'm moving from table-formatted pages to using CSS and I just can't seem to figure this stuff out.<br />
<br />
Sections A, B, and D are set sizes and I'd like to set Section C to occupy 100% of whatever height remains on the page. <br />
<br />
In addition, I'd like to be able to load external HTML files into Section C when links in Section B are clicked.<br />
<br />
How in cyberspace do I accomplish this? <br />
<br />
Thanx.<!--content-->Probably should have posted in CSS section.<head><br />

i couldn't figure-out your link...<br />
so i couldn't get a visual of what you were after...<br />
but here is a site that offers multiple templates of varying CSS layouts.<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html">http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutori ... boxes.html</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
it's still not easy (for me, anyway
)...<br />
but it beats trying to figure it out on your own.<br />
hopefully you can find a suitable layout style that matches what you are trying to do.<br />
unfortunately, i still find CSS layout to be way too confusing...<br />
even after playing around with the templates there
<br />
<br />
as far as your need to load external files into specific blocks:<br />
i couldn't get it to work for me (it caused a perfectly positioned block to just re-plant itself at 0,0 (x,y).<br />
<br />
i will no doubt be monitoring this thread to pick up info on how to get it all working.<br />
<br />
have fun at the noodleincident (it's cool stuff.... even if i don't really understand half of whats going on )<br />

I'll have to use an Iframe?It's the only HTML object that you can target with a link. Anything else would involve script.<br />
<br />
I should have prefaced my example with applicable browsers. It should work in IE 5+ (I tested IE 5.5), NS 6+, and Mozilla.<!--content-->That makes sense.<br />
<br />
I'm using script right now to swap images in the top box.<br />
<br />
I wonder how you'd do it for a page instead of just an image.<br />
<br />
Thanx.<!--content-->You change the IFRAME's location attribute, just like you'd change a FRAME.window.top.frames["if"].location.href = <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/">http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/</a><!-- m -->"newPage.htm"The reason I suggested it, was that you can use the target attribute of the <A> tag:<a href="newPage.htm" target="if">whatever</a>That's how I understood your original request.<!--content-->Originally posted by stmasi <br />

<br />
can also be written as<br />

<br />
However, both of them will fail a good bit of the time. If you are doing some kind of onmouseover thing, then you will also have to provide a real link as back up.<br />
