Help with HTML
Discussion
Ok I have become well and truely stuck with coding a website in purely HTML.
I am creating a website that mainly consists of tables. I am trying to offer the illusion of using frames, as in the Menu on the left remains fixed throughout, as does the menu and logo on the top of the page. However, just like with frames I want the middle content to change depending on what link on the menu has been clicked.
When a link from the menu is clicked I need to somehow display the content of a webpage inside of a <td> of a table which 'should' display the desired information. I dont think its achievable at present but I may be wrong.
Currently I am approaching it in much the way as I would frames, i.e. Target="Whatever ID" and obviously setting an ID for the TD that I wish the content to be displayed in.
I cannot use CSS before anyone asks, nor can I use frames. This is not my choice as it would be my preffered technique!
In theory I could just create every page with identical source code so that I still have what I need to remain constant in a static state. I would rather not take this route but if what I am trying to do is unachievable then I may well have to.
Any ideas guys?

Rob,
From what you've written, you'll need to have multiple pages, one for each link on the menu, with each page having it's own content in the centre table and it's own copy of the menu.
The correct way to do this though would be to have things like the header, footer and menu as seperate files included using something like PHP to save having to edit 8 files when you add a menu item, as was already suggested by BlairOut.
