This isn't really much of a server-related question, but I've got an 
answer anyways :> 

Where I work, we have a webapp that does this all the time. The basic way 
you do this is to have a <div></div>  tag (with the 'id' attribute set so 
you can find it.) and use a bit of javascript to fetch and reload the 
contents of the div. You have to do the loading differently for IE and 
Firefox/mozilla.  Moz/Firefox has an XMLHttpRequest object you can use to 
fetch the new content. In IE you have to use an ActiveX object named 
"microsoft.XMLHTTP"
