I've been through quite a few of the tutorials/articles, but I still feel that I do not have the tools to control any div with any link proper. I feel that Mike Alsup's post was on the right track, but, it seems, too much was expected to know by a noob like me. How would the code listed in post #2 be put into action via any "a href tag", to control any specified div? I have searched for a tutorial of this type, but am still suprised by how little information I've gathered on this.
At the moment, I am primarily a PHP/SQL developer, and only a javascript/ajax noob, so I really need to be spoon fed, initially. It would be most useful if I could be given a demo/example that I could reverse engineer. @SLR: Thank you. I'm sure the $(document).ready() method saves many headaches!
