Feedback wanted for JavaScript/jQuery page

[gnetcon]

Hello, all!

I have a page I have to build using PHP and (preferably) jQuery. I have an immense array with anywhere from 100 to 10,000+ items in it. I'll have a page with 3 panes. The first pane will list the basic info for each record (date, time, description, etc). When one of those items/rows is selected (clicked on or radio button checked), I need to update 2 panes below it with data from the same array item chosen.

Would it be better to have the panes as scrolling divs, and use jQuery/JavaScript to update each div based on the selected data? OR would it better to use frames, figure out a way to store the array data, and view it from the framed pages, based on what is selected?

I'm looking for any great ideas, especially from you jQuery experts out there! I would really appreciate any feedback on which approach would work better. : )

TIA!

Using jQuery I would go for to divs, jQuery makes this relatively easy and avoids the problems associated with frames.

Before proceeding consider the search engine implications, are you happy to be considered a one page site or does each item deserve its own url ?

Thanks for the feedback!

It seems all of the suggestions I have received have been the div approach. Also, there's no SEO worries, as this is a private intranet site. Search engines will never see it.

Thanks!
