css and links

Hi, I'm trying to do something and I think it's not that difficult,
but my knowledge of html and css is very limited.
On my site I have two large DIVisions: left the navigation div and
right the main content div.
I have a little menu script running in the navigation div. So far so
good.
My question: when I click one of the links in the menu, how can I make
sure that the new content (seperate html file) will be displayed in
the main content div?

Thanks!
Kris

i've just gotten into this myself...
ive used frames..... and then in the a-tag, after the ref, u write
target="<the name of the frame>"
ex:
<a href=about.htm target="main">

hope this helps...
u can also take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/ if u havent been
there... they might just help..

CSS doesn't do that. Frames do, but they have serious problems (because they
do that). The solution is to create pages with identical menus on them.
This is made easy by sourcing the shared content from a single location.
