Hi all,

I'm busy building a website. I cannot use frames.
Every page can be  divided in a table with 3x3 cells.

The row will be my main menu.
The first column wil be submenu.
The middel cell will display the actual content. 


                |                |
            <--main menu-->
----------------|--------------  |---------------
 sub          |  main       |    sub content
 menu       |  content   |
                |                |
----------------|--------------  |--------------
                <--footer--> 
                |                |


the main menu will always be the same, same as the footer --> includes
the main content cell depends on which submenu function is choosen.

Some submenu items are: 

login
search in database
add to your favourite items
add to basket


Now I was wondering how to build my site. How should I deal with a function like 'add 
to basket'. I mean, when a certain item is displayed and the customer wants to add it 
to their basket I have call the script add_to_basket.php or something like that. 
However I don't want to leave the page where the item is displayed, cause that's 
confusing to the visitor. Even more..In the 'sub-content' cell I want to display data 
about ordering info, like there are so many items in the basket. 

So I have to call upon a script which stores the info about add_to_basket, load a 
total new page where 1 table cell changes, namely the sub-content cell, but still 
displayes the original product. 

So, If I were to use frames It could be done, but now I'm not thinking of frames but 
of displaying content dynamically in a tabe cell.

I would very much appreciate your expert opinion on this matter, I'm sure every idea 
helps me form my own ideas which I can use.
maybe there are people out there who have done this kind of thing, or know about large 
sites which use this same concept....

Any philosophies are much appreciated!

Wilbert Enserink
