changing content of a table in html

[pigness]

i've got a file called template.php, it has a links menu in it and a table inside a cel. i've figured out how to get my home.html content inside the table but i don't know what the code would be to make the buttons change the content in the table?

heres the code i have so far in the table of template.php

<table width="99%" height="770" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="5">
<tr><div class="body">
<td height="760" valign="top"><?php @ require_once ("home.html"); ?>
</td></div>
</tr>
</table>

i just need to know how to get a button to do the same thing except only when you click them. Can you help?

"><?php @ require_once ("home.html"); ?>

require("$file.php");

then just define $file in the query string:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?file=main

that will load main.php into your table.

btw, that div tag is pointless. Just apply the class to the <tr>

maybe i'm not understanding this correctly but the links your saying should have an absolute path like this?

www.domain.com/template.php?$file=content_b.html

that don't work, i just tried it. not sure if i understand the $file part, can you explain it in laymans terms? hehe. thanks. 🙂

They can be relative or absolute. Doesn't matter. get rid of the $ in your url and try again.
