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.

    Without using javascript you're limited to using frames.

    Don't.

    Go visit jQuery.com and read the examples. It's very simple to use with examples for everything. If you check the plugins, there's a simple image scroller module that will allow you to rotate through images like you want.

    As for the dynamic update of the bottom content, this isn't a very good design. If a user does not have javascript enabled your site will not work for them. If you want to continue to pursue this avenue, just wrap the bottom content in a <div id="maincontent"> </div> and use jquery to handle yoru click events on links, do your ajax requests (careful, IE caches aggressively so you might want to use POST rather than GET to avoid this unless your content doesn't change). The ajax handlers will will request the content for the link clicked, return false to keep the browser from handling the click event as a traditional full-page submit and then render the new content in the div tag.

    It sounds harder than it is technically but to get working correctly and cleanly is going to be rough. It sounds like you might not have enough experience for this. If you're really set on this design, look at jQuery, read the docs, search the plugins, etc.

    Good luck.
