Stop Page header, footer and shared images from reloading

Hi

Is there a way to stop your pages header, footer, and shared images through out the site from reloading every time a user goes to a different page?

thanks

 

research ajax page loading.

if you are willing to pay, i will teach you how to do this.

good day

 

There is an old-fashioned thing called "frame". Frames were invented just to solve the problem you mentioned. There are no so popular nowadays because someones say that they are not a good user interface and others say that they are bad for search engine optimization (SEO). However, these are debatable points. You may see if frames are appropriate in your case.
Good luck.

 

don't use iframes! one of the worst things you can put on a website

research the things i said, it will be worth it in the long run

 

Unless you've given visiting browsers a no-cache instruction, don't worry about it. Images, script files and css files are only downloaded once. The second time and thereafter, they're loaded from the browser's cache. The text is light weight to the point of not mattering in most cases. I'm working on some articles right now. One is about 13,500 words, printing to 29 pages, and only runs 74kB. I doubt you have that much repeated text on a web page.

Saving a few crumbs of bandwidth was important back when modems ran at 2400Bd, but even at 56Kb dial-up, text just isn't that big a deal. It's the graphic stuff that slows things down, but it's only loaded once, anyway. Worry about the first time, not the second.

Now the problem is in IE 6 & 7 where they blinks or reloads every time a user clicks on the link and from viewing the http response, I can tell the sharing css, images are cached in IE browser, but when is it that each page still blinks or reloads ?

 

IE just does a crappy job handling cached files, and always has. To my knowledge, that's just the way it is.
