creating dynamic parts in 3 column view

[eluser]Scouser[/eluser]
I'm just starting with CodeIgniter and I was wondering what is the best way of dealing with dynamic parts which I want to use in my page.

Currently I use a 3 column page. With on the left side a menu, and depending on the state of the user it shows a number of menu items. In the middle I have some newsitems with 'read more' functionality. In the thirth column there some more dynamice text.

Formerly I used to call a function from within my webpage like

Code:

$menu->display();

but how should I do this now from CodeIgniter?

There is a ton of information on embedding views withing views. Here is one thread that covers many methods with links to other threads on the topic:

Thanx for the quick response this helps a bit already. But to extend my question further, I'm looking for some best-practices. Like for instance I have a menu on the leftside which is put together based on the state of a certain user (logged-in or not). So normally I use one of my own 'menu' classes, but now, using CodeIgniter do I also need to make it aware of the controller class?
