Expandable Content

[TamedTech]

Hello Guys,

I've got a little somthing that i'm trying to achieve, but my knowledge of JavaScript is practicly non-existant, so i'm hoping you can help me out.

I know that there are probably ways of achieving what i want to using Ajax and DHTML, but i've been pointed in the direction of Javascript, so lets hope you can help.

I'm looking to achieve expandable type content in my news boxes, similar to those on

http://www.msn.com,

notice the small + and - symbols that allow you to add or subtract extra rows of articles to the news boxes?

I've found a couple of code snippets in JavaScript that allows me to hide or expand all the content at once, but i just want to do it 1 article at a time.

I'm also looking to do somthing similar to the google personalized home where you can drag the boxes around and arrange your media to your own liking, so if you have any thoughts on that its appreciated.

I'm not quite sure if it'll make any differance but my content is generated from a database query through coldfusion.

Thanks again,

Rob

Hello Jeff,

Sorry, Dan pointed me in this direction to ask, I should have been clearer.

I've explained above what it is a want to achieve, my question is; How do I achieve it? Have you got any code snippets? or directions to tutorials that may help me?

I'm a complete and utter novice when it comes to JavaScript so would'nt even know where to begin.

Thanks,

Rob
