Great... that brings me up to the point I'm at with the Forum.... I can't getting the sodding apache/php/mysql install right on my machine... I follow the instructions... and get errors!

Oh well........ still..... if I can figure that out.... I can turn the main area into a call up section depending upon what the viewer selects, (call function)... great..... any ideas how I can do that from a folding out JS menu?

You see, this is the problem I'm having..... it seems that I have to learn just about everything to so something simple! Having C&P Code or software to generate code for you isn't going to cut it.... you have to KNOW what is being done so that you can make it all fit! Wonderful!
Oh well, I'm going to try the install again! (This time I'll ignore the instructions and do it on the fly! LOL)

I hate to complicate things further but I would just like to make you guys aware of a newer technology known as AJAX which lets interactive PHP code to be executed or elements on a page to be altered without doing full page reloads. I don't know much about it but just want to throw out that it does, indeed, exist.
