CSS Content Linking

Hi folks,

I've just recently dived into css and I'm stumped. Coming from the HTML
world, I used to create frames with the menu on the left, header on top,
content on center/right.

My menu links on the left open pages in my mainFrame (center/right) target.

I just created "fake frames" with css but I don't quite know how I can get
my menu links to show up in my center/right side.

Any help or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Just stop using frames. Frames are bad. Don't do frames, mm'kay?

That was a wrong move. Start over, from the design of a robust page
structure. Forget CSS for the time being, and return to it when you have
usability issues solved.

You can't. Just don't do frames, but if you do, don't waste time in trying
to use them in CSS. Using badly designed technology doesn't become any
better if you do it in a clumsy way.
