best way to load new page into a table?

Hi All,
say i have a table like so

<table>
<tr>
<td>header.jpg</td>
<tr>
<td>><div id="myDiv"> text window </div></td>
<tr>
<td>footer.jpg</td>

with 2 links at the bottom of the page
NEWS
CONTACT

I would like to know what would be the best way to construct is so, when the user clicks on either 'news' or 'contact' , the relating file [news.htm or contact.htm] is opened & displayed in that <TD> text window ?.

i have been told to use the following function:

function changeText(newText){
document.getElementById("test").in* nerHTML=]newText
}

<a href="#" onClick=document.getElementById("m* yDiv").innerHTML="news.htm"> NEWS </a>



however , this function expects a string of text.
What i'd prefer is a function that will open the .html file , & display its contents

Would anyone have some advice on this ?.
Thanks

The best way I've found is using what are called inline frames, or iFrames.
I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but here's the tutorial I learned from.

Thanks Wollf,
however , i have already built my site around a table & would like to use JS to implement a files text into a cell.

Thanks though , i've had a flick through that tutorial.
