making header constant using css objects

[sbettadpur]

My home is having flash file in header part, If i click any of the navigation(dropdown) menus the wholepage will again reload. That should not happen.

My requirement is like this, the header part flash file should not reload again and again if i clicked any of the drop down menu links.

I got solution for this by implementing Frame technology. but somebody told that it is possible using css header objects. How i can implement this idea can anybody help in this regard.


Thank you

We would like the flash banner at the top(header) of the site to stay the same
and not re-load everytime a new page is navigated to.

Thanks

Look into using AJAX or Frames.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, Can you tell me how i can implement using AJAX, because i already tried with Frames. Is it not possible using CSS objects.

Thank you

Hmm, I've never heard of CSS Header Objects but I do know about how websites work:

• a browser makes request for the web page
• the server answers the request and returns the web page to the browser
• the browser renders the web page

Every time a web request is made the entire page is unloaded and then when the page returns to the browser it's redisplayed. This means that any time your Flash control makes a request to the server the page will be unloaded and reloaded again.

You can avoid having the entire page unloaded if only a portion of it needs to be updated.....you can use Frames (as you have), or you can use Ajax calls.

Please research AJAX. Once you have a clear understanding about how it works and how to make an asynchronous Ajax call, attempt to implement it into your solution. If you have any problems at that point please ask your AJAX related questions in the Ajax form.

Please note that you are probably going to have to change your Flash Object to use Ajax.
