this is actually a perfect example of how I would want my page to respond. And the content doesn't necessarily have to load in a div it can load in whatever it wants as long as i can control where exactly the content is on the page. Wordpress I looked into the PHP includes route and it seems like it fits the best but i'm having trouble figuring out how to direct the pages to where i want them to open. I'm not that great with php but i'm thinking php would have a more sophisticated method of directing pages as opposed to the "target" command when making links.
I hear that frames are bad, iframes are better but bad as well, you can't "target" a link to a div element, so what would you use to open pages from a div element nav.bar to a window on the same page? I'm running apache, mysql, and php so the tools to do it are there I just need to know what I should use. Any input is appreciated.
