javascript call url without page refresh
my rating system is set up so that when i click on one of the stars the page refreshes. I would like the same links to be used, but for the page not to refresh.
is there any way to do this using the current code?
The current code uses html links that return the user to the current page. instead of refreshing the page, i would like the link to be opened in a div so that the music in the player on the page does not start from the beginning again.
the stars are supposed to rate the song, but rating the song causes the song to stop. not ideal.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Im trying to get it to work, but because an iframe loads content that is on another page, and the code that makes it go is generated by a function call its not so easy.
why, because to have the other iframe load another page, i first have to set up that page to have access to the function that created the code in the first place.
so, im trying. its a good idea. thanks.

<A href="star1.html" target="iframe_name"> first star </A>
What could be easier than that? It is the TARGET spec that sends the page into the iframe, it is SO easy.

The star rating system is generated by a smarty function.
The logic of behind the creation of the function is not mine and updates are received so i cant change the logic.
The page after the rating button is clicked contains music that starts automatically. (so opening it in an iframe could result in 2 songs playing, where the purpose is to smoothly continue listening.)
Thats the stuff that makes it difficult.
Thanks for your help, both solutions are correct answers to my question, even if my ability to implement them is a bit lacking.
