inserting html into html

I created a website in photoshop sliced it up and saved for web. I want this one page to be the stationary page for the whole site meaning it never gets refreshed or changed. Instead, I sliced a cutout in this page that I want all the current web content to be located in. So I basically want to edit 5 simple html files and have them pulled into the cutout on the main page.

I also would like my links on the main page to be able to call each of these 5 html files when clicked.

I've played a little with server side includes but also want this html within the cutout to scroll instead of stretching the main site out of wack when there's too much content in it.

Is there possibly a javascript answer to this?

Have you tried using a frameset?
You can use frameset and call the links to update the content frame with your html pages

A simple example can be found here http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/examples/frameset1.html clicking the links to the left will update the right frame

You could use php / javascript to do this and fill up a div. "Just" use a small javascript to fill the content div, like in the code below, to replace the lorem ipsum text with the content matching the menu links. Because it has a overflow: auto, it will stay within the given height of the element and not 'mess up' your page.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
.wrapper
{
 width: 500px;
 margin: 0 auto;
}
.content
{
 width: 500px;
 height: 200px;
 float: left;
 border: black 1px solid;
 overflow: auto;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="content">
