Is there something that i could do to split my website into 2 parts so that only half of it reloads. then on the other half i could have like a timer or something.
I've used it on sites before and found it to be useful - I wouldnt recommend using it on anything hugely confidential - but I have used it on things like blocking off areas for only a specific customers use where their training manuals etc are.
You suggest frames for the problem offcourse its gonna do that but frames are not supported by some of the old browsers and visitors with such browsers may not be able to see the site.
Please if possible give me your suggestions of using xml for the same purpose and how xml can do it just introduction so I can pick it from any book.
