So I'm building a site and I want to have little tabs on the right hand side that will change the content on the main page without having to refresh the entire page, like an embedded page within the main page. I am working from a template (HTML and CS) and trying to modify the existing content. In the code you can notice that there is an ordered list which defines the buttons (Like Homepage and etc) and when hovered over they change background and look fancy, but they don't actually do anything. I've been reading up about how to make them change the page (by following a link) but I am confused and can't figure out how to do it. I was hoping you guys could help me. I'm very noobish to HTML and CSS and just trying to put something together and learn from example while also building a private site. Thank you for your help in advance!INDEX.HTML:\[code\]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta name="keywords" content="" /><meta name="description" content="" /><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title>/rootbox</title><link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'><link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Abel' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'><link href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" /></head><body><div id="wrapper"> <div id="header-wrapper"> <div id="header" class="container"> <div id="logo"> <h1><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Rootbox</a></h1> </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li class="current_page_item"><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Homepage</a></li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Distros</a></li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Wifi</a></li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Tools</a></li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="banner"> <div class="content"><img src="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/images/title.png" width="1000" height="300" alt="" /></div> </div> </div> <!-- end #header --> <div id="page"> <div id="content"> <div class="post"> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831919/#">Welcome to /rootbox</a></h2> <div style="clear: both;"> </div> <div class="entry"> <p>/rootbox is a collection of Security oriented Tools, Tutorials, Resources and Websites.This site offers a collection of well documented and freely available tools and resources for both a begginer pen-tester and the professional white-hat.
