onclick show news

[jeffromad]

Im sure its simple to do but im lost! I basically want something like this:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...thumbnail2.htm

BUT text instead of pictures! Such as this:

http://www.blocparty.com/news.php

If you got to the above link you will see that if you click a news story it loads it in the column next to it. I guess the script would be something exactly like the thumbnail one but im lost and not good at this stuff.

Anyone help me please? I want it to work "onclick" rather than "onmouseover"

All help appreacited cheers.

Not sure what you mean by it. The link ( http://www.blocparty.com/news.php ) you provided doesn't have the script.

But maybe you mean something like this:

The js:

function change(text){
document.getElementById("some_id").innerHTML = text;
}

The html:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="change('this is a test')">Test #1</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="change('this is a test0')">Test #2</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="change('this is a test1')">Test #3</a>
<div id="some_id"></div>

Is that what you wanted? If it is then cheers, if it's not then no cheer for me.

Why not just use an <iframe> ? Makes it much easier, no ?
Somtimes I wonder: why do so many people have something against <iframes> ?
It is basic, but I never had any problems with it in all different browsers.

Perfect situation to use AJAX.
