How to do this animating drop-down frame?

[Jez]

Here

Notice when you click on the link it drops down a window.

Now i assume this is java, anyone know of tutorials for this type of thing?

Cheers :thumbs:

You should probably remove that link before the mods suspend you. ;)

Link removed, its the only example i have found to show what i mean though.

Its to a torrent site but not talking about that, mods what can i do please?

Err some forums have it when you want to quick reply or quick edit and a frame opens below to do what you want, thats the best way to describe :?:

This forum has drop down menus too. e.g clicking on the search button. Could use that as an example or is it not java based?

It sounds like you may be talking about AJAX (as used heavily by gmail, etc).

Its a way of sending a request, getting a response and updating a web page without doing a page refresh.

:?: could be that?

As the mods have not replied, how rude ;)

I will try give another example oh and yes it is similar to the search on these very forums. On the site i cannot say, there are a list and when clicking on a link all the info of that link collapses below almost into an iframe as there is a scrowler. It doesn't appear over the top like the forum search, it becomes part of the cell/table almost as if it was an iframe there all the time, click on it again and it closes. :)
