Basically what i want to achieve is to have the left navigation links slide across the page somehow. Now if i use JavaScript then i will only have one page but i need to have 4 different pages for each navigation link. If there is not a way to do this, i am happy to see any methods similar to this already done?
Thanks for your input, so it looks like Accordion menu’s is the technique used to do this.
Does this mean i will have only one page with 4 tabs? If so, i can’t use it because i will need 4 pages, one of which will be a shopping cart section. So I don’t think i ca have the sliding animation effect?
Or another method could be to slide the page across and then direct the user to the actual page? That way users won’t know?? I’m not sure how to go about this…
You should be able to load a separate page in via ajax, so that when the click occurs the page content is retrieved while the slide occurs, with the content appearing as soon as it’s retrieved.
That’s a process that I cannot help you with at this stage, but others might be able to. If all else fails there is the Marketplace where you can find people who can help too.
In the mean time can anyone comment on using AJAX and Accordion? Are there any examples of this being done before? pmw57 has kindly suggested to load in the page via AJAX and slide the page via Accordion.
What would be the best approach to take?
I was thinking of starting the design (CSS etc), get the Accordion slider working, and then do the AJAX? Again i was hoping to see how the AJAX would work by looking at examples…
