Frames? Ugh!

[Snyper_20]

Please take your time to respond to this thread if you like as I will not be here the entire day. Happy reading!

Alright, let's begin! I have a flash animation for this site that includes a preloader and a couple text affects before becoming interactive. I have been trying to figure out a way to make it load a page in the smae window without reloading itself. An easy way of doing this would be with frames that have no borders. However, I do not like the use of frames as I can not view them from my PSP . So, I would like to know if there is any other way to accomplish this task? I cannot use PHP, PERL, or SSI. Had I been able to, I would not have this problem.

So, to anyone out there that may know a good little trick, please...submit it . If there is no other "easy" way, I will progress with frames. Thank you for your time!

You could use layers. Put your "pages" in a DIV tag with the same absolute positioning and then use Javascript to set the visible property on each to true or false depending on which layer you want to show.

That's quite messy and if he has a lot of these 'pages' the page size will be huge. Especially if there are images.

Even though I hate them myself, I think frames are the easiest way to solve your problem.

Just make sure you use them properly and dont have the pages loading inside themselves everytime

Hows abouts the iframe tag?

You can have something like a frames page without using frames. I don't know if it will work for your specific application, but it might be worth a look.

By the way... thanks Statica for bailing me out of that one. I accidentally messed up this thread when I forgot to wrap coding tags around the iframe tag.
Sorry folks!
