    Default load external text from xml?

    Hello experts.

    I know how to load external text with Flash. Is this possible with DW as well?
    What I have is a simple site that has a nav bar and a menu at the bottom (kind
    of a footer, but technically not), with a paragraph in the middle of the page.
    I would like to be able to change just that paragraph upon clicking a link or a
    button, without creating 20 entire new pages that must replace the entire
    current page, where the only difference is that one paragraph. Is there a
    manner (php, xml, dhtml, etc.) in which one may just grab text from an external
    file and put it into the desired location, without refreshing the entire page?

    Or, would it be preferrable to just have my many paragraphs placed in a long
    page, with anchors, that show the area that I want when called?

    If you can provide a link to a tutorial, that would be great.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Hi Sbisa,
    I'm sure it can be done with using but this is more simple for you to do for
    this work. I created a page name contents.php and 4 txt documents which will
    grabbed by php and print to page.
    You can view an example at: [url]www.artuc.net/public/deneme/contents.php[/url] if you
    like it then you can download whole codes (10 or 20 line code not much :P) from
    the link in footer.

    Cod3r,
    Thank you so much! This appears to be precisely what I am looking for. I have
    not had the opportunity to study the code, or experiment. But, I nonetheless
    greatly appreciate the solution and your samples.
