Facebook-like content load

I'm working on a big website at the moment and the designers are talking about making a facebook-like content area.. By this they mean that they want to keep the header loaded at all times and then only reload the content area when a link is clicked. Still we want to change the url to keep the framework working as well when accessing some page directly.

I'm not sure how to explain this any further - check out facebook and take a close look at the header whenever you navigate to another page..

Thanks..

I'm not sure if you're even asking a question, but here's my response.

Facebook, like most other major websites, use frameworks (custom built, or not) to separate a template into components, separate code logic from design, and more.

The reason why the url and the header will not change is because one of the designated areas of the body is acting as a container. When links are clicked, the data is gotten via remote procedure calls... via their facebook API. The content that is returned is then loaded into that container via javascript.

keywords: ajax, rpc, rest api, javascript, mvc, framework.

all of those things are important to that style of web development.
