Solved: Need suggestions on the page structure
Is it a good idea to combine all the individual page contents on one page? Ex: If I have 5 individual pages: home, contact, policy, about, sitemap. and I put all the middle content infos on 1 page since each individual pages are sharing the same header and footer. If I want to display a about_us content, I would only display that content and hide the rest using div: display: block.

It's not the normal way of doing things as far as I know. The problem with your suggested way is initial page load speeds, which should be as short as possible. Using a common CSS file to control the common header and footer information is the current best practice from all that I have read.

What if the initial page is regular normal page and the next page will be a combination of other pages ?

Depending on the size of this page with the divs in it and its load time it may be OK. I have always found it easier to code individual pages. There was a thread a couple of days ago about using include in php to have a common footer appear on a page. You could use this for both header and footer and save them separately and just have one page for each of the rest of the content and just call the included headers and footers, this may be a better way of achieving what you want. At the end of the day you are the designer code it the way you want and put it on a test site and get a few friends to try it out for you.

What's your reason for having just one page? I wouldn't advise hiding your content, Search Engines specially Google frowns upon this and might flag your site.

The reason I want to do this is trying to see If I can eliminate the IE Flicker problem for the background image. If I put it all in one page, then it only has to load once.

I think you could accomplish the same thing with iframes or ilayers.

Peace...
