Thanks Dmitriy, i'm looking for div solution. as iframe will give scrolling if content are large. which is not required. now i was unable to find step by step approach to develop extension.
if you have ne thing / example. i'll be waiting.
Maybe Extension:HTMLets will suits your needs. Otherwise, you have to study MediaWiki developers site:
1. Perhaps one would setup a parser xml tag hook to generate proper form/select/option and four corresponding div's code: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions
from xml tag attributes one would generate full html which is required to select titles and to place content of these into div's.
2. Perhaps one would use API to retrieve the pages whose title are taken from option.value via javascript, then place these into div.innerHTML, again via the Javascript: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Expanding_templates_and_rendering Another possibility is to use Title and Article classes and do your own AJAX handler: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Ajax http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Title.php http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Article.php
However, that's probably a "reinventing of wheel".
Sorry for not being able to provide full example - I am not a rich guy and busy with projects to feed my family. Also, I am not the fastest coder out there. Dmitriy
