link to place in the same site

[trudie]

Hi, I want to make a site with html, php and css.

I want to make three different parts in the site, a meny, a text block and a scroll block (all the different parts in their own div tags),

In the scrollpart I want to have links (like thumbnails).

I want these thumbnails to behave like this; when clicked, a larger picture (or other link) has to open in the text block.

This without opening a new site, all has to happen in the same html.

 

Can somebody help me here? - ps. I am a newb, please use 'easy explanations.

As much as I hate frames, maybe frames would be the best bet, or javascript

I am pretty new to php, but have more experience with html & Dreamweaver. This is just an idea but can't you use the onmousedown behaviour, if someone clicks on a link the onmousedown beaviour automatically inserts some text in to your text box - should also be completely do-able with standard HTML and maybe some basic Javascript. Suggest you look at the likes of www.dynamicdrive.com for ideas or pointers.

I certainly dont think you need php for this, hope it helps

Javascript is what you are after, take a look at the dynamicdrive.com or javascript.internet.com or webmonkey.com

<div width='150' height='500' overflow='scroll'>
link 1
link 2
link 3
</div>

the above will always show a scroll bar

the one below will only show a scroll bar when necessary

<div width='150' height='500' overflow='auto'>
link 1
link 2
link 3
</div>
