so i have a two column css layout. on the left column will be a list of names. when the name is clicked, i want some information about that person to show up in the right column. if someone else is clicked, i want that to go poof and the new name's profile info stuff to go in.

i thought this was a case of display: none and display: block, but i'm not finding anything with the answer i'm looking for. the best i found was this (link), but it seems that it still isn't giving me the answers i want.

so i'm looking for any tutorials (or hell, answers, but i don't mind looking this stuff up myself) that let me accomplish the following:

1) i have a list in div 1, each item being a hyperlink that targets dive 2
2) when i click the hyperlinks in div 1, the old thing hides itself while the new one reveals itself in div 2

i know iframes can do this, but i'm looking for a more css/php based answer, because i want to keep things up to current standards.

is this possible or am i looking for something that can't be?
