I wish to do something iframe-like with my div i've got going here.

Basically, i've gotten as far as making links change the content of the div like so:

<a href=#self onClick=document.getElementById('maincontent').innerHTML = '<?php include 'file.php'; ?>';>Open file</a>

This works pretty well, sadly though, if i make another link inside that to change the content back to the first file, the server gets stuck in an infinite loop and crashes.

I really am just trying to find some way to dynamically change content, and to fetch that content from a file using php. If my way of approaching this is completely ludicrious, i do appreciate suggestions.

I think the best and easiest way is to use jQuery:

<script type=text/javascript>

$('#addContent').click(function(){

   $(#maincontent).load(file.php);

   return false;

});

</script>



<a href=# id=addContent>Open File</a>

<div id=maincontent></div>

This script will load content of file.php into selected div using ajax call.
