How do you attach table-specific functions to button?

Question

For example if i wanted html content to appear in a table when a button is pressed, but for the other table windows to remain static then what coding would i use - would i attach javascript functions to the button?.. But how is the table window indentified in html?? If anyone could point me in the right direction i'll read up on it... i'm teaching myself web design!!

PS I'm using macromedia MX 2004 if there are any shortcuts on that programme...

Many thanks...
