Is it possible from within a listbox to load a file based upon what was
selected?
I have a rather long list of options, 100, and got to thinking, that
instead of having 100 corresponding divisions on the page, why not just one
section?
The options are broken down alphabetically. e.g., A through E.
If a user clicks on something in "C" then load only that file for the "C"
listings.
What are some ways of doing this?

PHP is a server side scripting language (or at least that is its
common usage).

To react to events triggered by the browser user, you need to use a
client side scripting language.

You may get some help if you post your question in a Javascript forum.
