I would recommend using Layers. Check on google for Layers (and check
for browser type, Netscape and IE had some slight differences).
Basically you can easily create some sort of (PLEASE INGORE THIS SYNTAX
IS ONLY PSEUDO-CODE)
<LAYER NAME=1>
<P>THIS IS MY <B> LAYER </B></P>
</LAYER>
and then you can do a layer 1 show or layer 1. hide.
If you can't find it, I did it once and could connect to the webserver
and check the sources...
