Can someone point me in the right direction of some directions/tutorials  
to achieve the following…

I have a list of records displayed on a page, and when a record is  
selected i would like some related information displayed in a frame  
below.

This is probably just plain-jane iframe stuff. So if you refresh the  
full page you’ll need to include in your layout or view a frameset  
along with frames (including the new frame on the bottom).

See if you can mock it up first in plain html, then you’ll understand  
what you want the views in rails to display
