Hello,
Well, im new to HTML so if this is in the wrong spot im sorry and feel free to move it....
A friend of mine used to have an old website and in the URL space it was always the same thing no mater what page of his site i went to... i would really like to know how to do this if anyone could help, thanks.

it would be hard to tell unless i could see the page you are referring to, but my best bet is that he used frames, put the menu in the top/main frame, and when a menu item is clicked, it brings whatever page into the bottom frame, keeping the url stationary but changing the content.

cheers,
chris

he could have used frames, but just had one, be 100% height, and 100% width...

He could have used frames as suggested - just the header or footer was hidden.

Something like:

when you do frames it doesnt neccesarily mean that you will see them- unless we are talking about page scrolling, because you can tell it not to make the border when separating frames. Corey Bryant's suggestion looks like it would work fine, that's kinda what i'm talking about.
