changing pages without page loading

Hello!

I'm working on a wordpress site that has a header section with a navigation menu, and then a content area below. I want the header content to remain the same on every page, but have the content change. No big deal, but I am wondering if there's a way to do this without having to load a new page each time. For example have something similar to a frame, where the header content doesn't actually change, but instead triggers new content to be loaded into the content area. The reason for this is to create a seamless experience where clicking on a link doesn't open a new page, but simply loads new content instantly. I was thinking perhaps this can be done in php? Or maybe frames are still a viable option? (I haven't used frames in many years so I'm not sure!) Anyone know a good way to achieve this effect? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you want ajax.
