PHP - Moved: Onclick Display Insert Form

Hello,

What I am looking to do is have a series of buttons laid out and when the user 'onClick', a table from my MySQL database will load into a scrollable textbox within the same webpage.

I figure I need to go about this using AJAX, which unfortunately I have basically no experience in.

For example purposes here is what I have going:
This php code basically just displays the table we want to tie the button click to.
Code: [Select]
<?php
include("connect.php");
//Query of facebook database
$facebook = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM facebook")
or die(mysql_error());

//Output results
if(!$facebook)
{
    echo "There was an error running the query: " . mysql_error();
}
elseif(!mysql_num_rows($facebook))
{
    echo "No results returned";
}
else
{
    $header = false;
    echo "<table border='1'>\n";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($facebook))
    {
        if(!$header)
        {
            echo "<tr>\n";
            foreach($row as $header => $value)
            {
                echo "<th>{$header}</th>\n";
            }
            echo "</tr>\n";
        }
        echo "<tr>\n";
        foreach($row as $value)
        {
            echo "<th>{$value}</th>\n";
        }
        echo "</tr>\n";
    }
    echo "</table>\n";
}

mysql_close();

?>
I'd really like to make this as easy as possible.  After doing research, I figured that just Javascript would not be enough because it is client-side.
It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Amazingly, PHP Coding Help is not the place to ask JavaScript questions.  Mind blown.
