What would you say is better?

[James Jobs]

I have found two types of ways to change text on the same page. The first is done with php - /index.php?about. The other way is to do a #about.

What is better, why and how?

Both are very different and it depends entirely on what you want to do. Can you provide more information on what you are trying to achieve?

It would also be better if you used a more informative title. See the posting guidelines. (http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm)

Well for starters both can be used by javascript but #about ant be used by php
now for a CMS use ?about its easyer for php as a CMS if you are wanting to change the page with javascript lot of work you use #about

but thats just the norm i use javascript on ?about= bla bla but javascript can not update the ?about only read it where as if you wanting to have dynamic pages and url targeting still working use #about

I am doing a site and is a little media heavy and was thinking it would be easer that way?

Or should I just use html?

Am I right, is #something only used to go to the certain point of a page where the id of 'something' is? If so, isn't that completely different to using index.php?something. Isn't that for displaying dynamic content? I'm just a bit confused about this, and I'm not sure what you want exactly.

The Hash is the change to some different text.

I have examples:
