kobra500 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Hey, I want to create a retractable sidebar whose default position is in with just a button poking out the screen. When opened I want it to go on top of other div layers. I also want it to stay opened or closed depending on wether it was open or closed on the previous page.I have no idea what to do, I assume JS so maybe this post should be there but I dont think java should be with JS.Thx to anyone who helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live-Dimension 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 It's not that hard. You make the panel, when the page loads, it puts the panel to the right off-screen (This means that anyone without javascript should be able to use the panel). You then click the button, and javascript simply moves the panel's X in enough for it to display. Press the button again, it goes off the screen. I also want it to stay opened or closed depending on wether it was open or closed on the previous page.This is the tricky part. You could use GET/POST, maybe a cookie?I can't help you with the code sorry - but there's the theory work done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I've seen scripts for the retractable sidebar there. Edited May 30, 2008 by mikeyboy63 (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
