JQuery and CSS

[pnmorrison]

I am looking to develop something simliar to the slide down basket widget at the top of here:

 

http://microwarehouse.merus.co.uk/

 

However before i begin i wanted to know if there is anything i could do in css that would make it sit above the rest of the page. In otherwords when the basket slide down i would like the rest of the page to remain in situ ie not move, as if the basket slider was floating on top of the rest of the page content.

 

Not sure i f i have made myself clear but if anyone does understand want i need and u have a solution then i would be ever greatful.

I have used something similar at: ch iccorpo rateapp arel.com/branding-boutiques.asp

 

I don't recall where I got this one but I am sure the jquery site has a few which I believe correct search term to use is "toggle".

I've seen that effect before when searching for "jquery accordion".

I think Susie hit the nail on the head. The one I used was called click toggle but I believe it falls under the category of 'accordion'.

 

Thanks Susie.

Sure! I don't know about keeping it on top of the page rather than scooting the page down, though.

ok but this is achieved using slider - i am hesitant to make it any other way without knowing first that i can keep achieve my aim of keeping the page still.

I just ran across this: http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/sliding-top-menu-with-jquery/ The page stays in place while the slider opens up on top.
