load file into div dynamically using html possible

mothmann

currently i am using a combination of javascript and html to load pages dynamically into a div section of my main page. the code uses an onClick that calls a javascript function that uses writeIn to embed a .swf as an object into a div.

Is it possible to do this without using the javascript?

Also, is it possible to do this and embed a .html or .txt file?

If you need examples of the code please just ask. Thanks in advance.

If you don't mind reloading the page, you could use a little php like this:

Put this between div-tags:

I was hoping it was possible with html and css with no other coding. I didn't think it was possible, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask around. i guess i could just place all the content in a div and hide it till something is pressed.

wait. why would i even use ajax when it would be possible with just normal javascript. 1 line of code with an on*

AFAIK, meaningful content manipulation isn't possible without scripting. You could try taking a peek at the :before or :after pseudo-elements along with the content property. Probably won't work well, especially in any sort of cross-browser way, but it's all I can think of.
