Making a button like ShareThis

[firefusion]

Hi,

I hope it’s ok to ask this here, I’m a newb to JavaScript and I’m interested in the way the ShareThis (sharethis.com) button works for a project i’m working on. I was wondering how the following is achieved…

- Script link outputting a graphic and text on the webpage
– Open/close on click
– Clicking opens box displaying content

I’m not interested in any of the other features.

Could any kind person point me in the right direction?

Thank you.
