I'm working on a history section for my organization's website, where each date in history links to a separate page. What I'd like to know is if there's a way to load these separate history pages within the same area of the main history page, instead of navigating to a completely new page each time. For example, if I click on '5th September 1991', I want that entire page to appear in the current view and then switch to another date's records when I click the 'next day' button. I've done a lot of searching online, but I'm not sure if this requires JavaScript, PHP, or something else. Any guidance would be appreciated!

The approach depends on what you're aiming for! If you want to keep a consistent layout while showing different content, server-side includes with PHP or using iframes could do the trick. However, if your goal is to enhance speed and avoid loading the entire page again, then AJAX is your best bet. You can load content dynamically without a full refresh, making the experience smoother!
Just to add, your question title is a bit different from your content. The title emphasizes iframes, while your body leans more towards SPAs and dynamic content loading. Just a heads-up!
That's a solid point! My issue is similar, but I’m trying to implement an authentication feature, so I’ll be following this thread closely!
