Question

I am trying to make a navigation bar on the left.

|   1   |
|   2   |
|   3   |

<a href="???" id="1"></a>
<a href="???" id="2"></a>
<a href="???" id="3"></a>

I was wondering how facebook does their left navigational bar because when you click Messages on their bar, it turns into http://www.facebook.com?sk=inbox.

How do you change ur main div changing your url? Do you put

<a href="?sk=inbox> 

but then I was wondering what the action was that changes the div?

Would I have to use $_Request[‘sk’]?

Thanks

I have done something similar to this before:

I had a class called navigation and in my main nav ul I had the following snippet:

    foreach($aAllPages as $key => $value){

        $sOutput .= '<li><a href="index.php?pageID='.$key.'">'.$value.'</a></li>'."\n";

    }

After I have started the function I set the following:

$pageManager = new PageManager();

        $aAllPages = $pageManager->getAllPages();

The page manager was the model name that had a function called getAllPages that processed the specific data from the DB
