Hi, I was wondering is it possible to implement a feature whereby if the user clicks another page then the content doesn't have to reload. What I mean is like the Youtube Comments system, whereby only the comments reload if the user clicks the 2nd page of comments. I basically need the same as this, is this possible?
yes you need to have ajax script two do this. but i am not sure how you do this at all as i dont now ajax
As said, the answer is ajax, be aware however that as it is javascript that it wont work on some browsers and search engine spiders may have problems indexing
Yes many thanks i found the script now i'll see how things go without it as it's probably unnessecary unless my site becomes overloaded with comments but until then there is no need i suppose!! Many Thanks for your help.
You can also have the whole page in a template. A templating system can be run server side wherein say the header and menu stay on the page, where the middle content part is changed (a new middle is inserted with scripting). We're doing this with our insurance sites. The whole page doesn't reload simply to bring up information or a quote. We use Perl to put new data in $params sitting in the HTML template, OR I make an empty <div id="quotecontent"></div> and the Perl template knows to put x-amount of new code inside that div on the page, while touching nothing else. You can write an HTML template (not to be confused with a design template) in any OOP-- Perl, Python, php, whatever.
