On the client side, perhaps it could be done as simply as this (untested): <a class="details" href="eventDetails/?id=27">details</a> $(document).ready(function() { $("a.details").click(function() { $(this).parents("tr").eq(0) .after("<tr></tr>") .next("tr").load(this.href + "&ajax=true"); return false; }); }); This is bare-bones, of course. You would probably want an animation on the display. Once the ajax has been loaded, you would probably want to change the click to a show-hide effect on the newly loaded details row. And you would probably want to guard against re-ajaxing the same details on subsequent clicks. But I think that's the basic idea. On the server side, your eventDetails code would need to check if the ajax parameter was set to true. If so, just return the contents of that row; if not, return a whole page. Does that help? -- Scott
