Hello all. I'm in the process of developing an intranet consisting of peoples personal details. Below is the layout of what i'm after doing...

Now, what i'm after doing is when an image is clicked (e.g a photo), details on that person fade in to the empty space on the right hand side of the screen. The photos are actually displayed by querying a database, as are the personal details. So i've come to the conclusion that every time a picture is clicked it sends a query to the database which produces the personel details and then places these in the table which will appear on the right to show the details.

However, i am absolutly clueless about how to go about this. I'm using mySQL and PHP to control and maintain the database. The query isn't such a problem, its more the generating the table to display the information on a mouse click.

Any help would be brillient.

Thankyou for your time.

DHR.

Sorry i cant be much help on this but i once saw a way of doing this without databases, just a javascript. I'll see if i can find it for you...

I have found a script that does this with links instead of photos but i'm sure it can be edited...
