It is called AJAX or <iframe>

Well I tried Iframe and it didn't work for what I need and I don't know Ajax.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Perhaps you did not try the right way?

I think it does work,
but if you do not tell more about what you "need" ...

What is the sense of only wanting answers that you already know?

I suggest you research the Ajax technology, Rick.
Google is your friend.

Refreshing a page element from the server (and not the entire page) requires
the ability to script (specifically: client-side script) a new request to
the server and parse the response. That is pretty much the definition of
AJAX, so you might want to reconsider your outright rejection of it.

This description is from the W3C's wroking draft of the specification:

"The XMLHttpRequest object implements an interface exposed by a
scripting engine that allows scripts to perform HTTP client
functionality, such as submitting form data or loading data from
a server."

http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/

This is supported, at minimum, by the current versions of Firefox, Safari,
Konqueror, iCab, Opera, and Internet Explorer (IE versions prior to 7
implement it through ActiveXObject).
