Not a dumb question, pretty popular question in the PHP section.
There is no way to accomplish what you are looking for through
HTML/CSS, other than using the
:target psuedo class, which doesn't have full browser support (only IE9+).
Target Article, essentially you are passing a
hash (#) value (www.website.com/index.php
#blog) in the URL.

You are talking about passing
variables in the URL with
PHP:
Take a URL like this for instance: www.website.com/index.php
?page=blog
PHP Code:
<div id="left-nav">Left Nav</div>
<div id="main-content">
<?php
if($_GET['page'] == 'blog') {
?>
<p>This is my blog. Since it is set after the "?", this part will show.</p>
<?php>
} elseif($_GET['page'] == 'contact') {
?>
<p>This is my contact page.</p>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
<div id="right-nav">Right</div>
This way only a part of your website will change (and yes, this is preferable over iframes).
Passing variables in the URL Article

iframes are not bad practice. They were meant to be used more for inserting external websites (something that is not related to your page), for instance a twitter "tweet" button. Everything with that button has different style, different scripts, and so on.
@VIP
it's 2012! Using an
<object> for a twitter button?!?
