Opening pages into divs

Lucy · May 25th, 2006, 06:10 AM

Hi there

I was wondering if anyone knew how to open a page into div. I am currently redesigning our website using css for the design and layout. We currently have it in frames - top navigation, side navigation and main frame (yuk!)

On our new site I have a template page with a div called mainContainer e.g.
<div id=mainContainer>page to open in here</div>

Some of our pages on our site are 'owned' by another company and currently open in the main frame, but with the redesign I want these to now open within my maniContainer div.

Does anyone know the html to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hey Lucy,

Div are boxes that can be vary of height width and position. They also load a lot faster and are better to maintain.

The way to learn is by checking the source of some pages that are mainly build with divs.
The best way to work is working from the outside to inside. Ill give you an example that works
you can put the following code between the body tags

Code:

<div id="container">
  <div id="banner">
  </div>
  <div id="navigation">
    <a href="">home</a>
    <a href="">links</a>
    <a href="">etc</a>
  </div>
  <div id="content"></div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
</div>

The rest of the style you will need to do in css there are enough tutorials to find online for this.

good luck

Hello

Thanks for the reply, although the info given wasn't what I was asking! I already know about divs to the extent you've gone into - I want to know if i can get an external page to open up within my mainContainer div......say, something along the lines of <div id="mainContainer" src="displaypage.asp"></div>

So my external page looks like any other page on my site but actually the header and footer are includes, and the content from the external page opens and displays all content in this div.

Any ideas?

Oops sorry I didn't read it well.

I've noticed you used the asp extension there for I think that your looking for a solution to include a file.

this is asp solution
try this

Code:

<div id="content">

</div>

keep in mind that tags like html,head, body should not be in the file you want to include

good luck
