Call a code behind function from div/tables in aspx

Question

Currently I am using frames in my webpage and I am calling a code behind function using src attribute. Now I wanted to remove frames from my webpage. Can I achieve the same behavior of method call when I replace frames with DIV or Table?

<FRAME name="nav" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" src="<%=fnGetMenuSource()%>" frameBorder="0" 
                noResize scrolling="no">

Sure, you can. With div, you can do like this:

<div id="divNav" name="nav"><%=fnGetMenuSource()%></div>

And in the code you might write the fnGetMenuSource() like this:

protected string fnGetMenuSource()
{
    return "<p style=\"color:red\">Hello World!</p>";
    // Or whatever you need
}

And the output for the code above:
