Good morning. Honestly, newbie doesn’t begin to describe my level of web programming and my knowledge of dynamic websites even less. However my fiancé has asked me to build a webpage for her church. I need some help.

Is it possible to have a page where the majority of the page is static and the only thing that changes is the content in a form?

What I’m trying to do is make it so that the links on the left hand side of the page and the Image file displaying the churches name stay at the top stay the same. But the links change what’s displayed in the center of the page in a form.. And I’m not just talking about changing the text in the form but I would like to display an entire html page in the form. Is that possible? Is a form even the best item to use to make that section of the page dynamic? I tried to search but I’m not even sure what to search for. Thank you in advance

The requirement you've mentioned can be easily achieved using Frames. But i think they have some issues if you making the site for a large number of viewers who uses different browsers.

It would be better if you gain some knowledge about the site construction. Checkout the following site that offers some organized learning materials for site development

Thank you for the link its going to be my first read before I begin. Graphic design is really more my skill then web design. I can create basic pages, html etc etc. I guess more then anything i would like to create a static header and menu with a changing content. Without having to reload the entire page and i was trying to avoid the use of frames more for ascetic reasons then functionality.

Really, what you are suggesting will just cause more problems than not.
the static header can be included on each page easily (even, using php/etc., from a single page for easy maintenence), and you can reload it.... that's the better option here.
Just so many less problems.
