The simple way would be to put an iframe where the content is to go and so the content pages could change but leave the surroudings constant. However, frames cause all sorts of problems with accessability and SEO and you don't want to go there unless you really have to.

If the content is just text really and not too much of that, then you can just use a pile of layers (absolutly positioned div's) and then use some css/javascript to show/hide the divs rather than loading a new page. I do that on one of my concept designs at http://www.q-4.net/tm_gallery/
