Web page links

[DJMK4]

How do you target a link to a specified div on the same page?

e.g. the link will be in the left div, when clicked it will open up a page in the right div?

if you are linking to somewhere else on a page. then it is

<a href="#link">link</a>




<a name="link">Link</a>

Dont quite fully understand what you mean but if you want it to go to another page then just add the page filename before the hash so:

 <a href="page.html#link">link</a>

Sorry if i have the wrong end of the stick here

as you can see the left div (with the links). when these links are clicked, the database output will appear in the right div (content div).

 

[Nate]

so you want it to call a function that updates the right div?

 

[DJMK4]

basically yes, i have 3 tables in my DB, atm i know how to output 1 table per page, i need to find a way to create the links on the left, so that when a link is clicked it will update the right div with the table output for that specified department.

tbh this dude needs a basic PHP tutorial. I can't find any decent ones which explain $_GET and so on :/

Anyone got any linksies?

<?php
if(isset($_GET["show"]))
{
$show = $_GET["show"];

switch($show)
{
case "DVD":
$load = "dvd";
break;

case "Video":
$load = "video";
break;

default:
$load = "default";
}//End of switch($show)

//Load the page outputted from the switch statement
require_once "$load.php";

}//End of if(isset($_GET["show"]))
else
{
require_once "default.php";
}
?>
