Showing different info in a <div> without refreshing the page?

[Kesey]

I have a banner on my site which is a flash movie, so when links are clicked to visit the various pages of my site, I don't want the whole page (the flash header) to reload and start from the beginning.  I have tried the following code, but still, the whole index page reloads every time a link is clicked. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Main Page Code:

<div id= "maincol">
<?php
if ($title == null)
{
echo('<h3 class="grey">Show this text if null</h3>');
}	
if ($title == Home)
{
echo('<h3 class="grey">Show this text if Home</h3>');
}	
if ($title == About)
{
echo('<h3 class="grey">Show this text if About</h3>');
}	  
?>

 

Links Code:

<a href="index.php?name=home" class="active" id="home" title="home">
<a href="index.php?name=about" class="active" id="about" title="about">

You need some sort of javascript to do that. Or maybe AJAX.
