How do I update only half the page with HTML/CSS when clicking a link? Keep slide show in Memory.?
I would like to make a simple (business) web site, where on the upper half I will have a continous slide show of ~5-8 pictures/slides and all the clicking action with actual content would happen below it, in the bottom half. I'd like the slide show to just continue continuously while the user clicks through relevant stuff below. I understand that I COULD just in each .htm file include the same code for top half of the page, but then I am afraid the slide show will stop and restart. I also understand (I think), that Ajax wil solve these kind of issues. But is there some simpler html way to have links point so that they just update a part of the screen, or the new content is put inside and existing target DIV, and to hold a slide show in browser's memory/cache for the duration of session?
Also: any good suggestion how to combine 5-10 GIF or JPG photos into a slide show? I guess JavaScript would be required, but if HTML can do it, I'd like to know.
Thanks.
