hey everybody, maybe you can help me¿

Hi, I'm not sure if what I want would be java or html, but I'll ask here first.

I have a jokes page, but once I start added jokes, the scroll bar would eventually get tiny and it would take forever to load because I'll have way to many jokes. But what I don't want to do is make more pages, and just link them together.

ex. jokes1.html -linkto- jokes2.html -linkto- jokes3.html

So I was wondering if someone could tell me if there's a script that all you have to do is click an arrow and a list of ten or so jokes come up, then once your finished reading them, you click the arrow for the next ten. And all the jokes would be stored on a separate html page.
This way all that would have to load is the ten jokes, and not an entire another page.

So, thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.

Bye.

<a name="one"> </a>joke one
joke two etc...
joke ten...
<a href="#topofjokelist">back to joke menu</a>
<a name="two"> </a> joke eleven
joke twelve...etc
joke nineteen
<a href="#topofjokelist">back to joke menu</a>

<a href="joke2.html#five">51-60</a>

k. what about this: could I put a frame of some sort in, then you click something and it loads the next frame over the old one, or replaces the old one. so it'd be like loading another page, but within the first page, and only loading the words?

or could I make asp files or something that have a bunch of jokes, then you pick which collection of jokes you want, then you get that asp framed within that page?

ummm yup you could just a do® those things tooo...'cept yourrre the one who said...you didnt wanttt to make just a new® pages...lol...
no matter whether youre having new pages load in just a frameset® orrr having new pages just a load® on their own since the 'images' twould have been in the viewers cache n' would load pretty quick n' only the newest text would be 'loading' fresh...

hum. I think I'll use a combo of both a-links and framed thingy. And since yuo already showed me how to use the a-links. Can you give me an example, or show me how to do the framed part?

[canadian_legend]

can someone show me how to do this:

Have it so you have, lets say 5 links (short jokes, long jokes, q 'n' a jokes, and lists), on the top of the page.

Then you click the one you want, and it loads an asp file (or something) onto the page you are already on (it loads it under the 5 links).

And on the asp file are that type of jokes and a-links which send you down the list quickly.

Also, I'd want the asp files to have their own scroll bars.

can anybody help me out?
