Splitting a webpage.

Hi there Im using the twitter API. When a user searches for a twitter story they are directed to a new page. however what i would prefere to have is a window on the right hand side of the page where the search results are displayed. My code is in three stages which is the HTML

<html>
<div id="search">
<table width='100%' height='100%'>
    <form action="getkey.php" method ="post">
        <table>
                <tr><td>
                <tr><td>Search Twitter for...:</td><td><input type="text" name="key" />
                </td></tr>
                <INPUT TYPE="button" value="Search" />
                </td></tr>
    </form>
</table>
</div>
</html>

getkey.php

<?php
$key = $_POST['key'];
include('search.php');
$twitter_query= '"'.$key.'"';
$search = new TwitterSearch($twitter_query);
$results = $search->results();


foreach($results as $result){
        $status=toLink($result->text);
        $pos = stripos($status,$key);
        echo "<div>";
        echo substr($status,0,$pos)."<br />";
        echo "<b>".strtoupper($key)."</b>".substr($status, $pos+count($key))."<br />";
        echo "</div>";
        //$display = $status.explode("i wish");
        //echo $display[0];

}
?>

and search.php
