How is this done please?

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I did look the sections over and though this would be the best place..

Hello reader!

I hope that you can help me find out how this is done? If you goto http://www.upnews.it/ and click on one of the storys links the new page will open but I want to know how they kept a sidebar from there site on the page?

http://www.upnews.it/outframe/Parlia...ta_Definizione

That link shows the new site with the sidebar of upnews on it, how is that done? its not normal "Frames" I think maybe ajax or something? Any help would be great, thanks!

They might be doing either a PHP include or a frame on the left side with the main page on the right.

Though my best bet is a frame on the left with the main page on the right...
I don't use frames that much but I know about Iframes...

I'm no pro coder, but I don't think thats correct.
Anyone else with an idea?

Thanks for the reply Rockonmetal.

I think you might be right m8, I took another look and it does have "Frame" code in it.
Still wondering how he did it tho.

They just made a link with to a page with a frameset. Their sidebar is on the left and the main link is on the right. If you look in the address bar, the page is still on their site but with the main frame as the other website.

Hope this helps.

They use a frameset.
If you want to know how to avoid certain problems related to the use of framesets, see this.

The only way to have a static portion of a page when other parts are reloading (without updating them through javascript, which isn't seen a reloading, just updating automatically, etc.) is through the use of frames or iframes.

To which it can be added that layers can be forced to show in front of the frames of a frameset, see here.
