Website 'header' should not load in every click

**dee-u** · Sep 29th, 2011, 09:58 PM

I am toying with our school's website (temporary) and I have a problem. What I want is that the 'header' where the name and logo of school should not be refreshing upon each click of a menu. How do I do that?

I just duplicated the following code in each file I used in the website.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"    
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head> 
<title>North Luzon Philippines State College</title>  
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" /> 
<meta name="description" content="This is the personal website of NLPSC" />  
<meta name="keywords" content=  "north,luzon,philippines,state,college,nlpsc,candon,ilocos sur" /> <meta name="author" content="NLPSC" />  
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/  
@import "styles.css";  
/*]]>*/  
</style>
</head>

<body id="altbody">

<div id="wrapper-header">
	<div id="header">
		<img src="NLPSC.png" alt="North Luzon Philippines State College"></img>
	</div>
</div>

Our website address: http://www.nlpsc.tk/.

The css:

Code:

body {
	margin: 0 0 1em 0;
	padding: 0;
	color: black;
	background-color: #eee;
	line-height: 130%;
	font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
	text-align: center;
}

#wrapper-header {	background: #eee; }

#header {
	background: #eee  url('images/admin.PNG') right no-repeat;
	width: 100%;
	height: 110px;
	line-height: 125px;
	margin: 0 auto;	
	text-align: left;
}

#header h1 {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	color: #eee;
	font-size: 220%;
	padding-left: 10px;
	letter-spacing: -1px;
}

#wrapper-menu {
	background: #88ac0b url('images/menu-background.png') top left repeat-x;
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
}

#menu {
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	font-size: 95%;
	white-space: nowrap; /* stops half a menu link dropping to next line. Instead, the whole link will drop. This only happens if you have a lot of menu links, and large text size */
	padding-right: 2px;
	list-style: none; /* disable default menu styling for list items */
}

* html #menu { padding-right: 0; } /* See above comment. This re-adjusts IE to the above padding */

/* this is an empty pseudo element that makes #menu as high as the floated child elements */
#menu:after {
	clear: both;
	content: '';
	display: block;

#menu ul {

	list-style: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: absolute;
	color: white;
}

/* reset some styling on all child list items */
#menu li {
	display: block;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-align: left;	
}

/* only top most menu list items are floated */
#menu > li {
	display: inline;
	float: left;
}

/* each link is made a block element */
#menu a {
	color: black;
	display: block;
	padding: 5px 15px;
	text-decoration: none; /* removes underline in links */
}

/* this one has a submenu */
#menu ul a:after {
	content: ' >';
}

/* this one does not */
#menu ul a:last-child:after {
	content: '';
}

/* gives the blue background for hovered links, way cool huh? */
#menu li:hover > a {
	background: #b6e41c url('images/menu-hover.png') repeat-x;
	color: #485b06;
}

/* this makes the menu visible on the screen when mouse comes in */
#menu > li:hover > ul {
	left: auto;
}

/* a sample how position: relative; can change things... comment the line to see what happens! */
#menu li > ul > li {
	position: relative;
}

/* these two rules set how second, third... level submenus are treated */
#menu li > ul > li > ul {
	top: 0;
}

#menu li > ul > li:hover > ul {
	left: 100%;
}

#content {
	width: 90%; /* 73% because it has 1% padding on each side, which brings it to 75% wide */
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 3.5em 1% 20px 1%;
	border-left: 1px solid #bbb;
	border-right: 1px solid #bbb;

	text-align: left;
}

Currently You are using frames which should have solved the issue.

Oh, I see. Looks like my source link http://nlpsc.byethost2.com/ is working. So its .tk that is the culprit.

**danasegarane** · Sep 29th, 2011, 11:41 PM

I don't think so. The .tk uses html frames so it reload only bottom frame not the top one. And http://nlpsc.byethost2.com/ reloads all the page.In FF no difference but in IE I can able to see the difference

**dee-u** · Sep 30th, 2011, 03:42 AM

You are right, I thought my other url was working. So what is your proposed solution to the problem at hand? Others frown at using frames so I don't think I'll be using it.

Frames is one of the option. Or you could use the jquery Ajax Load method. See the demo here
