I have spent hours trying to find something suitable to change content in a single DIV by clicking links or buttons in a separate DIV.

Let me explain, I have a table, one row tall and two columns wide. In the left hand cell I want to have a DIV containing a list of manufacturers, which when clicked, will display a short description of that manufacturer with their logo and a link to their website in a DIV in the right hand cell.

I have seen some great scripts to show/hide content in a DIV, but each links has to have its own DIV to display the content, because it gets the text/images from code in the same page I presume?

Is there a way I can do this using a separate file to retrieve the content from?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, that is possible. It's a technique called AJAX. When you click a link of a manufacturer, you execute some Javascript code which fetches the content of a page you specify, and then you can display that content in a div.

Maybe this will be a helpful link: http://www.w3schools.com/Ajax/Default.Asp

see I figured using XMLHttpRequest, but if Im pulling content from an XML file, can I use images too? I though xml only contains text?

actually, I found this: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tentglider.htm

a bit more complex than what I was originally going for, but i can modify that to work for me. It looks like quite a powerful script so hopefully will be of use to others.
