JS to click link left <td>, get data rt <td>

[wxdqz]

I just saw a swf file do something that I believe could be accomplished in javascript, but I admit it is way beyond my own grasp of the language.

Here's the setup... simple table, left cell and right cell. In left cell are a series of bulleted text links, one overtop the other. When you click one of them, the info appears in the right cell.

Let's say for example, we had 5 names, and if someone clicked one of them, the contact phone # would come up in the right table cell.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ * Tom
+ * Bob................... 555-5555
+ * John
+ * Mary
+ * Ann
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How can that be accomplished with js?

Thanks for any help...
