Loading multiple pages in the same content area?

[Lenny]

Hi All -

I am working on a site for a small book publisher. I would like for
the book ssection of the site to be a little more dynamic in that I
dont have to load the whole page just to display the information about
each book. I am trying to shy away from iframes and was windering what
the best way would be to load multiple pages into an area.

To clarify not multiple apges at the same time. Basically when you
click on a title the info for the book would load in wen you click on
another it load up.

Cant use PHP or SQL wondering if there was any xhtml, xml, or SSI that
I could easily pickup?

Thanks
Lenny

I think Javascript is the only way to do that. You'd probably have to store
all book details in the file or seperate files (still all downloaded at once
though), and then display them on click. I don't recommend this as the page
could take forever to load depending on how much info there is on books..
but as far as i know that's the only one to do it if you don't wanna use
iframes.
