Hello everyone,

Since I had such good luck solving my last problem with the experts on this forum, I would like to ask if this is possible.

I want to use a links module in the left pane.  When a link is pressed, is it possible to load a page in the center content pane?

Each link is to a different page.  These pages all update a database so they will probably need to be modules.

I dont want the page to refresh, only the center content pane?

Is this possible?  any ideas of where I can look for examples like this, so I can see how they coded it?

Thanks!!

You know maybe this is going out of the scope of your question but what if your links on the left used javascript (jQuery) to modify the content in a text/html module in your content page?  Obviously you'd have to be able to get the jQuery script on the page and have your content loaded in a repository somewhere (folder on your portal) but it is totally doable.  I have done something kind of along those lines (at least dynamically loading content from a click) using jQuery on a client website.  I'll note that their site is still under construction as the client is getting material to me, but you can see a sample in the least.  Go to http://www.adventdvr.com/Product/tabid/57/Default.aspx and scroll down to the components section.  Click on any one of those and see how I use jQuery to load in an HTML snippet file into a "popup" window (using the cluetip plugin for this).

As for getting the script onto the page I have written (but not finished some features so it isn't on the market yet) a module to inject script onto the page.  Another developer has one as well -- GumboSoft -- to do the same thing.

As for the rest of your comments... well... obviously my approach doesn't work with a module or anything like that and they won't necessarily be updating the database unless you exposed functionality through a webservice or something but by the time you got that far you might as well have written your own module to handle all of it, you know?
