moving from frames & iframes to css divs and span - navigation help!

[binaryknight]

in the past when ive dabbled with making a website ive used mainly frames, made the navigation easier as the link simply targeted the "main" section of the page.

however since frames are now out of fashion im trying to learn css and the div and span method. ive got a basic layout for my site but am unsure as how i can make the navigation part of the design work.

is it possible to have a link target the "main" div so that content is loaded from another page?

i could do that yes and probably will in the meantime untill i figure out an alternative method (or fail!)

having the nav seperate from the content means creating, removing links easier no need to change the code on every single page, that and the fact its the way ive been used, comming from frames
