I have no clue with java (especially concerning websites), i only know javascript but i think what you are after is GET variables.

eg. page.jsp?page=home

So you'd want to add a link with the row id or something in that get variable so you know what description to provide. page.jsp just has the template for the description but the variable is displayed.

If that makes any sense?

*trys to understand java*

Code:

<%
String locationID = request.getParameter( "page" );
if( null != locationID && !locationID.equals( "home" ) )
{
if( locationID.equals( "homePage" ) )
{
put content into a variable.
}
}
%>
