I should admit that I was lazy to follow all your code. :-) but I got your
idea. In order to display the partial associated with the button clicked,
use CSS and Javascript.
- Add CSS display attribute (something like *#activeContent{display:
block;}*).
- Add an *onclick* action to each button that "*activates*" a partial
associated with the button so clicked and "*deactivate*" the other
buttons
- To deactivate the other partials, set *#activeContent*'s *style.display
= 'none';*.
This will surely help you.
