"view more" "see more", clicking to see more info Options

[goofipinay]

I hope I can explain this right...
On some sites, I remember seeing (I guess fake?) links that if you click them (usually saying "more..." or something), more info pops up underneath, moving everything else down...
Then if you click a different one (on the same page) the info that popped up before disappears, everything moves up, and info on whatever you clicked on shows up.

Does that make sense?

I searched some things, but I didn't exactly know what to search for, ya know?

Go here and you can get a menu like that.

**You don't have to keep the images that they use, btw.

ah, okay I see
yea it was 4,5,6


I think I found another one ?
I'm messing around with it before I mess around with those, to see which ones I like best =]
Thanks! (that was fast! haha)

CODE

<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleMe(a){
var e=document.getElementById(a);
if(!e)return true;
if (e.style.display == "true") {
    e.style.display = "block"
}
else {
    e.style.display = "none"
}
return true;
}
</script>

<a href ="#" class=menutoggle" onclick="return toggleMe('para1')">[see more]</a>
<p id="para1">
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
</p>

okay it doesn't quite seem to be what I want...
do you know how to get it to work all on one link/button ?

edit again:

okay, I got it :) thanks

You should look into jQuery. It's a JavaScript library that makes it easy to do stuff like this. Specifically, you want to check out the "toggle" or "fadeIn" functions.

I seriously don't know why more people around here don't use jQuery. It's awesome and does probably 90% of what people around here ask to do on a regular basis.

I agree. I just started using jQuery with my web designs.
