Complete Beginner - doc height and div load questions

[haruosama]

Hello. I am absolutely new to webdesign and I apologize for any stupid questions I might post... these included.

First, how do I get buttos to load documents into divs?

And second, I am planning to make a web page that centers in any resolution, and I thought of making it fit a minimal resolution of 800x600, as it is commonly used in my country. The question is, what is the recomended height for the document, taking in account the fact that a browser would have menus and bars and such?

Thanks already for your support.

You could use Ajax, but remember that users with JavaScript disabled will not see the content. Another way is to use frames or iframes

Height is generally irrelevant; that is what the scrollbars are for.

Be very careful with AJAX, it has a tendency to not work. You'll get it working on your box but when you send it loose in the world it will not work for at least some users. If you use AJAX you have to have a non-AJAX, non-JavaScript backup. That backup might be an IFRAME in your case.

Ok, I am using iFrames as advised, bun ran into another bump, wich seems to be quite ... how can I say ... stupidish. The main document has it's body set to text-align center, and the document loaded onto the iFrame is left-aligned, but as it loads, it becomes centered also.

Forum help has been great so far.

Apologies once again for another overly begginer question.

Haruo.

The document in the iframe is only affected by it's own css, not the style of it's parent.
Can you give a link?
