Check out this site

<sorry, no example pages -
see Terms of Service [webmasterworld.com]>

and notice when you click on options in the left column its displayed in the right column.

How did they do that?

I would like to do the same for my site.

Welcome to the forums, swygue

That sounds like a DHTML technique called "show hide divs" - a combination of javascript and css.

Each of the descriptions is in its own separate div, initially set to "visibility:hidden".

The links activate a javascript function that switches the appropriate div to visibility:visible; and swithches any other description div that was visible back to visibility:hidden;

Without having seen the page...

Another possibility is that they may be using the same trick that Google Suggest uses with the XML object.
