What you could do is either something like this:

 <a id='showMeButton'>button</a>
 <a id='showThisButton'>button2</a>

 <div id='main'>
    <div id='showMeContent' class='content'>
        <p>This is just some basic content</p>
    </div>
    <div id='showThisContent' class='content'>
        <p>This is also just some basic content</p>
    </div>
 </div>
 <style>
    .content { display: none; }

    #showMeButton:active #showMeContent { display: block; }
    #showThisButton:active #showThisContent { display: block; }
 </style>

This is the closest you can get using css, but you might be able to do this a little better by using jQuery:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<a id='showMeButton'>button</a>
<a id='showThisButton'>button2</a>

 <div id='main'></div>

<script>
  $('#showMeButton').click(function() { 
      $("#main").empty();
      $("#main").append("<p>This is some content</p>");
  });
  $('#showThisButton').click(function() { 
      $("#main").empty();
      $("#main").append("<p>This is also some content</p>");
  });
</script>

Whatever you do, you dó have to make sure you start using id tags, otherwise it just acts as a link, you can easily replace the href='#' with id='something', and then write some css or javascript which opens your content inside the div you'd like it in.
