I'm not exactly sure what this is called, so it's hard to do a search on it.

What I'm trying to do is have a webpage that updates the dynamic data from a database based on what links are chosen on the left side of the page.

- On one side of the page is a list of links. (ie: potato, carrot, apple...)

- On the other side of the page is a bunch of dynamic data that connects to a MySQL database.

Depending on what is chosen on the left side of the page, it will show the user that information from the database on the right side.
Example:
If you click on the apple link, it pulls the apple row out of the database and presents a picture of an apple, gives some information on an apple, etc.

I don't think this is very hard but I don't see it in any of the books I have, and have never done it before. Can someone help point me in the right direction or tell me how this is done?

Thanks,
Josh
