I am wanting to have a shopping page, which when you select different options from 3 different categories there is a price window and graphic window that updates depending on your selection.
I'm not sure what the technical name for a window inside of html window.
If there are a few tutorials that someone can point me to I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Your possible solutions are as follows:
1) Selecting an option fires a Javascript action to reload the page displaying new content based on the option you chose.
Google: "Javascript jump menu".
2) Use AJAX to make a remote procedure call to dynamically update element(s) in the page.
Google: "AJAX". And grab some coffee you might be here for a little bit.
3) Setup a frameset. Selecting an option fires a Javascript action which loads new content into a chosen frame in the set.
Google "HTML framesets" and "Javascript jump menu".
4) You could preload all the possible content and use DHTML, Javascript and/or CSS to hide content till certain options are selected.
Google "Javascript menus" and "DHTML content hiding" and "CSS display hiding"
