I don't thing this can be done just using CSS by itself. Sites that
have parts of pages reloading on demand use AJAX, which uses
javascript to alter elements on the fly.

Also, you might want to also check into the iframe element. It works
just like a frame, but is an element on a page, not a totally separate
file.
