I'm new to the boards, I'm not very good at HTML and CSS, and I need help creating a CSS layout. I want one that has:

--Header
--Smaller left column: menu
--Larger right column: content area

Plus, I'd like all links in the left column to only change the right column, so the header and left menu stay right where they are, but the right menu brings up the page I linked to in the left column.

If anyone out there has a way to do this (hopefully using only CSS, I don't want to use frames) then please help me! :confused:

So pretty much what I'm asking is this:

If frames can allow you to let a link on the left only change the right, can you do that with CSS, and how?

the only way to do that with css is to make another page that looks exactly like the home page, but with different content in the content area. This is beause unlike frames, divs can not be targeted. It's easiest to create the layout in an external style sheet so that all you have to do on each page is insert the content.

let me know if any of that doesn't make sense
