Is there a way to dynamically change the content of a single cell in a table?

As in, there's a series of links in a cell, or cells on the left of the screen. If you click on a link, the content of the cells on the right change. I'd like to do this without recreating the whole page, with different content on the right, when the content on the left never changes.

You could do this type of thing with frames, but HTML xpurts say 'frames are bad, mkay?'. So, just curious.

Pretty much. I was going to say perl/mysql until he said, "without creating the whole page."

So why are frames so bad? Seems alot easier than doing something with javascript.
