How to make PDF reader by side

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 02.2014

Hello, this is my first post so sorry if I make any mistakes.

I would like to make something like this.

[url]http://tinypic.com/r/2ezpoiu/8[/url]

On the left side are listed all the pdfs for example book1 book2 and book3, when you click on book2 i want that it loads to the right side of the screen. I know how to make it load in new tab, but i want that it loads on the same page. If anyone knows I would be thankful for help.

@Kevin2Dec 03.2014 — A very crude idea:
[code=html]<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Books</title>
<style>
iframe {overflow: auto;}
nav, main {display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My PDF Books</h1>
<div id="container">
<nav>
<a href="book1.pdf" target="display">Book 1</a><br>
<a href="book2.pdf" target="display">Book 2</a><br>
<a href="book3.pdf" target="display">Book 3</a>
</nav>
<main>
<iframe id="display" name="display"></iframe>
</main>
</div>
</body>
</html>[/code]

Play with the styles to get what you want.

I tried that... seems like my script is not working

Your code when i change the href at <a> (i change it to with a link for pdf file) and when i click it it opens me in new tab, but not at the same website.

Thx for answering, i am noob at websites ?

No scripting, no jQuery. Works in IE11, Firefox, Chrome.
