Links opening content in divs

[Lyss]

Was wondering if there's javascript I could use to make a link (php or html content) open in a div? If not javascript then php or something else... I've been searching all day and came close, but no luck.

I used php to open content in the div but I don't know how to get a link to open the content in the div!

Does that make any sense? :)

You would need to use AJAX to display things in div tags, however you can use Iframe's which is less complicated and fussy.

I tried using ajax and it was alright until the links kept opening in another window..

Then you coded the ajax wrong as you need to make sure whatever the content comes back as from the call that it will update the certain <div> tag you wanted it to.

The link content opening in the div works fine now, I've put the ajax tabs in a table and I'm using images for links. Normally I put each idividual image in it's own column but if I do now the link doesn't open in a div. With all the images sitting next to eachother they have white space next to each other and I don't know how to get rid of it, any ideas? :)

If in your HTML code you have a space between each image, remove that space and there should be no spaces between each image then.

thanks, that helped :)

you can use a templating engine like smarty.
