mysql_select_db('munnajax_fetch');

$query = "select * from interndb";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo "<li><a href='description.php?id=$row[id]'>$row[by]</a></li>";

<div id="targetspace">Description should come here</div>

description.php

<table width="400">
<?php


mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

mysql_select_db('munnajax_fetch');

$id = $_REQUEST['id'];

$query = "select * from interndb where id='$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

echo "<tr><th>Intern By</th><td>$row[by]</td></tr>";

Read up on AJAX. Here's a code snippet that uses it.

[theHop]

if it's populated at runtime just do this:

<div id="targetspace"><?php include description.php; ?></div>

[radhakrishna.p]

replace your code with the following code at lineno:14

<a href="#" onclick="getDescription('$row[id]')">$row[by]</a> </li>

and write a javascript function which internally coded ajax concept for getting data of a particular id (as said by pritaeas)

and place ajax result data to the target div

i think you got the concept now

please try it once i hope you will get the answer
