How to replicate menu effect related to search?

Joined: 10/27/2008

For our church website we would like to have link at the top of every page that says something along the lines of "First Time Visitor/New to the Church". When they click on it it would bring down a small section of content giving them basic information on the church, etc. Possibly even a video greeting from the pastor.

I am however stumped by the way it is actually done in geeksandgod.com. The search feature (as an example) when you click the bottom (linked to #) the css display value changes from none to inline. However, I am having trouble how this all works together?

Can anyone provide a few pointers in the direction I should head to replicate the underlying actions?

Thanks,

Everette

JavaScript via jQuery

The way we do this is with jQuery (a JavaScript library). Based on actions in the page we can cause certain events/changes to occur.

I would start at the jQuery site (http://jquery.com) where you can learn about how to use it and do effects like that.

Thanks

Matt,

Thanks for the response, I figured that was the case and have started doing the research and testing necessary. I was hoping there was a shortcut to using it in Drupal, but as you point out, sometimes you have to learn about the underlying technology.

Thanks,

Everette
