Question

I have deigned a website and i am wanting the header and footer to stay on the page and not refresh when a page navigation link is selected on the navigation bar i just want the content to refresh.

I have header.php which contains the header and footer.php which contains the footer

at the top of each page i have <?php include("header.php"); ?>
and at the bottom i have <?php include("footer.php"); ?>

these contain div tags
named appropriately and my content has its own div tag called content

i have searched the internet and heard ajax could be used but nothing is coming up to how to do this, could anyone suggest any code to help or point me in the right direction

Thanks
