[Javascript] click in table 1 rows the second table change ??

[Rakesh Pai]

Your strategy to handle this would depend a lot on the kind of data
you want to display in the second table. Is the table going to be the
same for every selection of the first table, or is it going to be
different depending on the selection in the first table? Also, since
you are using JSP, I assume you must be having a database populating
the records in the first table too. In that case, can you be sure of
how many records you have there?

If you can't be sure beforehand about how many rows of data you have
in the first table AND if the data in the second table is going to
depend on the selection of the first table, I would suggest you Ajax
to power the page.

If you are sure that the number of rows is a fixed small number (10 in
the example you showed above) OR if every item on the first table
generates the same list in the second table, you can decide to carry
out the entire operation on the client-side.

In any case, you can use innerHTML (which I happen to hate) to draw
the second table. A second, more flexible and more robust method,
albeit a little verbose, would be to use DOM manipulation methods to
create the table.

This is really not a difficult to handle situation. If you haven't
understood any of the terminology I've used in this mail, Google it,
and you'll get pointers.
