sliding expand/collapse div boxes?

hi,

I was recently surfing a site and they had these cool sliding expanding and collapse div boxes that actually show the sliding.

I checked the source of the page and noticed that it did not implement flash of any sorts.

so I guess this is javascript? I did some searching around Google and could not find a lot on this.

I think this would be neat to implement on my website and was wondering if anyone could point me to somewhere where it teaches you how to implement this code.

thanks in advance.

 

what website is it?

some of the sliding transition affects can be implemented using javascript libraries... like moo.tools or dojo

 

Three of my websites are using that effect you have seen,
I have implemented Script Aculo library found at
http://script.aculo.us/

Its cross browser compatible, and very easy to implement. Its site have many examples on how to implement script. Give it a try, its worth trying

 

I created a script that does exactly what you're asking and published it for open use a month ago or so.

The API for this script requires no changes to the script itself. Just follow the naming convention I laid out for the object you'd like to slide open, and everything else takes care of itself. Enjoy

 

wow, these are great. I first found it on digg.com in the comments section, where unpopular comments are hidden.

I'll give you both some greens.

 

Thanks mate (y), BTW digg is using the same library which is being used on my website
