Again, all the sites I visit discuss this part of things.
When they do discuss the rest, they use a database.
For this excercise, I am NOT using a database. Just a straightforward 2d
array on the page itself.
My goal is to populate the left column with the selected 2 items.
Showing the list of names.
Then the right column will show more data on that selected name.
I can do this fairly easily with an iframe, but I want to try NOT using an
iframe for once.
If I have to do this part with javascript, that's not a problem.
But, can javascript use the same php array as I have it?
My array now is in the form of $test[][].
FYI, when you visit the page, slow systems may take awhile.
The file size is around 2mb.
