Creating expandable feilds for a table

Hi,

i am new to the world of Java and some of the html stuff, i am currently trying to work on making a website with a friend and for some of the information, i am wanting to set it so that some of the fields in a table only show when a plus button is clicked or the name is hovered over. when this happens, i am wanting the fields to appear/scroll down from under the title

can anyone advise me on how to do this?

cheers

 

You can use jQuery. It is very simple )

Tutorials
Here is the basics of JS. You need to know them if you want to code on JS. Not hard to understand )
Then read about jQuery.
Example:

('#button').click(function(){
						   ('#something').hide('slow');
						   });

HTML:

When you push button with id 'button' the (for example) input with id 'something' will hide slow
