Programming table onClick Event

how to program a table with hyperlink, when click should display information or content on another table without redrawing the entire screen

[Terrorke]

Ok here is an example (from www.w3schools.com) using an XML File as datasource.
But the idea is the same. You click a record in a table and another table is filled with its details.
From this example you can get an idea how to do the javascript.


<script type="text/javascript">
function testclick(field)
{
var row=field.rowIndex
xmldso_list.recordset.absoluteposition=row
td_title.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("TITLE")
td_artist.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("ARTIST")
td_year.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("YEAR")
td_country.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("COUNTRY")
td_company.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("COMPANY")
td_price.innerHTML=xmldso_list.recordset("PRICE")
}
</script>

<xml id="xmldso_list" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml>

<p><b>Click on one of the CDs in the list:</b></p>

<table datasrc="#xmldso_list" border="1">
<thead>
<tr align="left">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Company</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th>Year</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr align="left" onclick="testclick(this)">
<td><div datafld="TITLE" /></td>
<td><div datafld="ARTIST" /></td>
<td><div datafld="COUNTRY" /></td>
<td><div datafld="COMPANY" /></td>
<td align="right"><div datafld="PRICE" /></td>
<td><div datafld="YEAR" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br><br>
<table border="1" bgcolor="yellow">
<tr align="left"><th>Title: </th><td id="td_title"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><th>Artist: </th><td id="td_artist"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><th>Year: </th><td id="td_year"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><th>Country:</th><td id="td_country"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><th>Company:</th><td id="td_company"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><th>Price: </th><td id="td_price"></td></tr>
</table>


The XML File can be found at http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml

Hope this helps
