How to use a div tag as a target place (JSP)?

Question

I have a home.jsp page and a login.jsp page

home.jsp

i have 3 div tags as

div id="header"    
div id="content"    
div id="footer"

1) When i click on Login link in home.jsp page it redirects to login.jsp page,i need: it should be shown on div id="content" tag in home.jsp page.

My Requirement is :: The home.jsp should be my home page..the header and the footer should not change, only the content which ever changes should be displayed in the div tag with id="content"

By using frames i am able to solve this,as we have target=".....", but is there any posssibility of achieving the same using div tag ?

Please Explain with an Example!

It is client side stuff. There is only one way to do i.e. ajax. It doesn't depend whether you are using JSP, PHP, Ruby or .Net — Shashi, Jul 19 '13 at 10:32
i'm not that familiar with ajax @0mile can u give a good solution which solves the way i need :-) a direct example pls — 09Q71AO534, Jul 19 '13 at 10:38
@user2561626 I'd suggest you put in a bit of effort with AJAX, try something, come back with any specific queries & raise questions against it. You'll get very little help if you're asking someone else to solve it for you wholesale without any effort on your part. — anotherdave, Jul 19 '13 at 12:08

i think you will decorator. you will your theme most be fixed in all pages. you can do this with any decorator framework like sitemesh(http://wiki.sitemesh.org/display/sitemesh/Home).
if you will do this without decorator framework you can do as following:

create header.jsp
create footer.jsp
create home.jsp page as following:
<body> <jsp:include page="header.jsp" /> .... home content .... <jsp:include page="footer.jsp" /> </body>
create login.jsp as following :
<body> <jsp:include page="header.jsp" /> .... login content .... <jsp:include page="footer.jsp" /> </body>

i suggest you use a decorator framework. thats better.

u are right:-) but using this the page loads every time !!! thank u @rasoul taheri — 09Q71AO534, Jul 22 '13 at 04:28
