action without page reload??

[polarz]

I'm trying recreate one of my favorite card games "500" in php and am not sure how to go about coding the actions without reloading the entire page over again. It takes way too long to reload everything on a page after each player plays a card. If anyone has any advice on how to alter certain objects on a page without a reload I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks

A good solution would be to use javascript layers for netscape and floating frames for IE I guess.
Thus, you would reload only small areas (such as cards for example) instead of reloading the whole page.

It is possible to load pages inside layers in Netscape.

The basics:

For IE: window.document.frames.content.location.href=page;
For Netscape: document.layers['content'].src=page;

There is also a way to blend it altogether to make the whole thing cross-browser on a single page.

Have a good day!
