To reload or not to reload ...

I've found a fix for my earlier problem of having too alter menus as pages are added, deleted etc. (make page ASP and use inc file)

My next most pressing problem is either to use JS to show or hide a number of content divs on the same page or to load a different page every time.

As I'm new to web pages, perhaps someone can advise. For instance if as my page does, there is an image as the header background, will this be Download ed once or everytime for each page?

Obviously for those of us with very fast broadband, this is not a problem, but for less fortunate....

Note! I don't wish to use frames other wise it would be simple to change the content, if not efficient.

Regards MimorkerisIf it is possible to not have a new page, then I say go for it.

But, if your hidden content will contribute significantly to the load time, then I would advise against it.

If all you are changing is text, then it would be no problem to put separate sections in <div>s with the property "display:none". Then, in your navigation, when a user clicks a button, set the respective <div> to "display:block".

Hope that helps! :Dthanks, it looks like I'll need to plan out the site, do few mock ups and test both options.Sounds good.

Post a link here when you're done so we can see how it turned out. :)
