Externally loading into a TABLE

[ArjunK]

This problem has driven my crazy. It's the reason I gave up working on my site half a year ago!!

Is it possible to load external pages into a TABLE, not a frame, a TABLE?

Here's the picture:

Again, this is a TABLE, not a frame. I'm thinking either there is an easy way, or I'll have to do programming with variables and stuff in Java script and have all the information in one html file. (as in that everything will not be an externally loaded page).

Oh well, thanks for the help! If you have any questions please feel free to post!

you can use php.. something like:


<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="100%">
<?php include 'file.html' ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks! I'll try that. I thought about learning PHP, but I wasn't even sure what it was, just that lots of people say it's good. I never knew that it helps with web design and stuff.

EDIT: Wait, I didn't make myself clear enough sorry :beam:
I want it so that when a link in the navigation bar was clicked, it would load the respective page into the table I mentioned. That means that there would be several different pages that could be loaded into there. Since I don't know PHP, I'm wondering if that could be done using it. Thanks for your time!

hm.. not really sure about that .. cant think of a way to do that..:(

the only thing i can think of would be an iframe or an include as mentioned before.

Yes yes yes yes yes I have found the light! They are iFrames and they are easy for me because they have HTML syntax and I know HTML.

Thank you both!

I've done something similar with IFrames ... though the IFrame sets within a traditional HTML frameset.
