Here!!

So I'm using Dreamweaver(really good, but the learning curve is a bit steep but not unlearnable), my question is that, you know how TL.net has the spoiler tags? How does one do that using HTML or it cannot be done? It looks very newbish right now I know.

Can anyone give me pointers, etc?

Whoa, Bob, is this javascript? It doesn't look like HTML to me. Oh and I got another question, I'll try to be crazy specific as possible.

I want to be able to do this in PHP, and I don't know PHP slightest. I have PHP.net, and I have one PHP as template, and another as a content. So basically, the template.php would always be there and always be included in the content.php.

...anyone follow?

I think I understand what you are saying. Let me try to reexplain and then answer.

You want to keep the same page, but just reload the content?

You could have a header.inc and a footer.inc

You could have a div content that is your body that is your content.

so then everypage would be like,

<?php include("header.inc"); ?>

<div id = "content">

blah blah blah

</div>

<?php include("footer.inc"); ?>

YES! Exactly, something like this: + Show Spoiler +

So for the header.inc is it .inc or .php? Thanks, this is something I want.

Best way is probably to start learning php, and then your specific questions becomes easier.

I learned php by myself by making a starcraft-clan website for me + friends back in highschool

It's pretty easy once you get started.

Read this article on Model View Controller Architecture with php website:
http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_0/02-Exploring-Symfony-s-Code

Consider using a framework to build your site - its much easier to understand when half the shit is already written for you.

Also, spoilers are javascript - checkout jQuery or Prototype frameworks for easy javascript.

you could use an iframe for that too.

<iframe width="100" height="100" framerborder .... ></iframe>

btw i have no clue, whether html code can be shown in my comment or not.

I guess your first question has been answered. Anymore just ask and I might be able to help. You know the [yt] tag on TL? I liked the idea so much I got it on my forum too.. I had no idea it'd take quite some time to get it all working

as for learning Dreamweaver why not just head over to Barnes & Nobbles? They have a nice variety not just on Dreamweaver but pretty much everything else too. That's how I learned the basics of FlashMX.
