Ditching 'iframes'

herbie497 · February 18th, 2007, 06:05 AM

Ok, I've used iframes, and are simply bored of them, every single one of my sites has them, they are good, but I wanna try something else.

I know about scrollable div td's and I'd like to know if it's possible to 'name' them, and send the link from a nav bar to them?

If not, is there another way, apart from iframes, to do this?

Or I guess I'll have to go back to the traditional iframe lol

Cheers,
Herbie

Ajax baby. iFrames are bad web design, just don't use them. Bad for SEO, accessibility and functionality. I hate when people take the use of my space bar and arrows away from me when I want to scroll the content.

Ajax? I've heard of that, never used it though. Got any good tutorials?

Oh, and is it server side?

It's JavaScript.

Just remember, keep it unobtrusive!
