How would I pull something like this off... http://www.getmiro.com/ How they change the background and content of the div on the right with mouseovers to the menu on the left. I have been looking but no idea where to start, js and dom stuff scares me
To change the background and content you can just have 5 DIV's placed on-top of one another, then on hover you change the relative DIV to display. No need for jQuery, just simply change the CSS style of the DIV onmouseover via JS.
