Hey guys. I'm completely new to AJAX and have never dealt much with JavaScript (other than using free-to-download scripts already put together from the net. My knowledge is a basic understanding of ASP, which is what I've been using for a while now. I know this is sort of going backward using ASP, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to learn .NET, PHP and JS all at the same time. So, if someone will be kind of enough to help me out and be patient with me, I'd like to stick with using ASP for now until I get a grasp on this AJAX.

Now, my problem:

I'd like to use a layout that consists of the N,S,E,W and Center panels. I've got this laid out and looking the way I want. However, I can't seem to figure out how to load information into the center panel when clicking items that I have in the West and East panels. I've looked at the index.html and docs.js files in the Documentation Center and I 'SORT' of understand what's happening, but my mind has not grasped the concept of OOP yet and I don't understand how to create the code I need from scratch.

Could someone please help me out with this? I'm a patient guy and this is mostly for my own education purposes, so it's not an extrememly urgent matter at the moment. Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

I would suggest you start by reviewing the tutorials (http://extjs.com/tutorials/beginner) and also some of the links in the 'Javascript newbies' thread at that top of this forum.

Ext documentation examples are also good to start with.

The easies way is to use iframe in center and set it's source from javascript.
