open url in a block on a page

[hunt00]

Wondering if javascript could open an url at a specific location on a page.

if ( test == "a") {
document.write("Below is the page");
//here will be the page that 1st url referred to
} else {
document.write("Here is another page");
//here will be the page that 2nd url referred to
}

Your best bet would be to use IFRAME tags to display pages within pages.

i'm trying to avoid iframe..is there another way in javascript?

You could use a HTTP object to hit the URL and set the innerHTML property of a div tag with the returned HTML.

Can I ask why you're trying to avoid using a construct that is designed to do exactly what you wish to do? Is this some new masochistic programming trend that I've missed the boat on?
