Imitating multiple pages with only one, is it possible?

Hi, over the past weeks I have been trying to make a website and miraculously, without any coding skills or knowledge, I was able to get fairly far with almost no interruption or difficulties. That is, up till now.

When I tried to set up my site/codes on my free host (weebly), I encountered total chaos Exclamation

. Pages wouldn’t link to each other, images laid scattered a bit everywhere, and I was left under the impression that all those long hours of work had been for nothing. Crying or Very sad

Luckily, a friend of mine, who was slightly more skill than me in the matter, decided to look over my site’s script and codes. After rearranging most of them and telling me to never try making a website again, he than explained to me what was the only thing that could be done if I was to ever be able to post my work. Unfortunately, he had no idea how to complete this last step although he was pretty sure that it could be done.

So, this is, in short, why I’m now seeking the help of whoever is willing to offer it.

I require an html code/script that would permit me to have multiple pages of information while only actually having one webpage.

What I mean by this is that, (because of various reasons), I can only have one page on my website, so I need to find a way to counter this.

I was proposed to turn my entire webpage into only one background image, within which my banner and buttons would be drawn. This background would also have a large, blank, box shaped area were one would assume text should be. (Please refer to the pictures)

What I need is a code that would do the following; when someone clicks on one of the intended buttons on the left side of the page, a text box would appear in the large box shaped area. This should be a scrolling text box, able to have pictures or videos from exterior sources embedded into it.

Also, another script would be required so that when the Webpage first loads, one is presented with the text that would be showed by the HOME button.

I already have a code for a scrolling text box;
<div style="width: 615px;height: 575px;overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;overflow-y:auto;">

What I would need is one that would place the box in the desired space/area, be activated when the proper button is pressed (just like with a page link), and be erased when another button is pressed, so that it leaves room for a new text box.

Hopefully, someone will be able to understand what I’m trying to say.

Attached to this message are 2 pictures; one is the actual background page, the other one is meant to clarify this mess of a request.

You can actually do this a couple of ways. You can use php to call external pages into the content area or you can use something like jquery scrollto and Ajax which scrolls to different panes all set up on one page.
Demo here.

That looks like exactly what I needed, a thousand thanks 'sticks464'. I'll probably spend quite some time trying to figure out how this works, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Thanks again! Very Happy

I do have a page already set up from an old site if you need it.

I'll gladly take it then, it'll probably save me quite some time.
