html help! trying to avoid iframes
 

ok so I ditched iframes using include but here is another problem

I am trying to use many links to open different things inside the page.. where my iframe was.

target="mframe" is how I was doing it.

is this possible?

how do I make a link to change stuff inside a page with includes or without iframes.

or maybe I should say this.. can I get away with using iframes as long as I have sitemap for search engine reasons?

It's anyones guess if search engines penalize when they see the <iframe> tag...

well my guess is search engines don't see the content of an iframe.. only a link.

SEO and iframes dont really mix - so youre correct in wanting to remove the iframes yet keep the functionality.

Id initially say CSS will solve it - but it might get tricky with the linking different sections for that one spot.

elaborate a little more about what it is you want to happen in the end.

Ill icq ya.

Quick and dirty, wouldn't recommend using it exactly, just an example to help you out, in php.

in your new found iframeless include area do something like this
Then just call somepage.php?sect=something and it will replace whatever is in anotherpage.php on somepage.php to yourpage.php on somepage.php

I've seen iframes get indexed just by being embedded in a page with no external links to iframe.html...

Perhaps you could use javascript to just display / hide part of your content, whilst keeping it all there in the source for SEO purposes; check out jquery -> http://jquery.com/

but will search engines see pages that have content on pages like index.php?a, ?b etc?

back to my 1st problem.

Google DHTML

yea - i told him to look into xhtml and or dhtml.

seems css would be too tricky to accomplish
