Ok, I have a layout conundrum.
Look at this layout here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://creativity.the-engine.org/creativityengineconcept1.jpg">http://creativity.the-engine.org/creati ... ncept1.jpg</a><!-- m -->
The layout code will be simple enough.. All the graphical content minus the scroll buttons will just be a background image inside a div. 3 divs will be nested inside that: One in the top left, for image content, one in the top right, for the menu, and one in the bottom left, for text content.
The problem is, I don't want to load a whole separate page whenever a link is clicked - I want to emulate an iframe style of loading (only load or reload the content within the div) - that way, when someone is going through the previews for art in the upper left corner, for instance, they won't lose their place when they click something and it's description is loaded within the bottom left div, due to the entire page having to be reloaded.
How do I accomplish this?the overflow: auto; feature in CSS is useful for making an iframe style div, but the page will always reload. I guess teh difference here is that if you use a div or iframe the page won't stretch longer than the screen, so you won't lose your place anyway.
