...using a page designed with a div header, left div menu, and right div for content, is there a simple way to load the content div from a link in the menu div? Or is it necessary to load the entire page with the header and menu along with the chosen content information?

css = load full page with new content in the spot.
iframe = load new content in small window on page.

Thanks for confirming what I thought the answer was. It sure makes it easier to complete my project...

no worries. try to clarify and help if possible.
