I'm trying to create a page with the DW CSS page Designs "Halo Left Nav template". I can't figure out how to create a link in the div#pagenav section so it opens only in the div#content area. I have tried using the each target in DW, but they don't work. I know CSS is probably not the best place to start learning how to create pages, but I liked the template so much, I thought I'd give it a shot. Any help is appreciated.Thanks
Scott

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure that you can load pages into divs. You could achieve a similar effect using framesets, but these aren't generally considered to be good practice anymore. I usually just stick to single pages that reload again when a link is clicked.

Ya, a pure CSS layout usually doesn't utilize Framesets, and no you can't load <i>into</i> a DIV, you can onmly hide/reveal DIVs.
With the CSS way, you're depending on the users browser cache, hence all images will load pretty fast when the click to a similar page, and the content will change (text/content area)... which people won't mind. As long as your site looks good in most major browsers, works, and loads fast, then nobody cares if you send them to another page... in my opinion.

Thanks for the help. I've been driving myself nuts trying to get it to work. I guess I'll just get the page to load again, with different content.
Thanks again!

Only other way is with an <iframe>, but that may not work for what you're trying to do with your site/project.
