Hi,

I would like to create a list on a website with hidden short paragraph of description for each items. Once the web visitor clicks on one of these items, the paragraph then would appear below it. I hope I'm making any sense?

Problem is - I don't know how to do that. Does anyone?

Brenda

That is usually a javascript action- do a google search for a dropdown menu script may find what you are looking for.

Does dropdown menu script works just as well for dropdown paragraphs? I'll do a search.

Hi Brenda,

Not sure if this would work for you, but you might try this: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pdownpanel.htm It gives you all the code and has pretty good instructions. It includes the HTML, CSS and JavaScript for you and tells you where to put it all. You could mess around with the width, etc. (but not the JavaScript unless you know what you are doing).
And where it says this:
</div>
<div id="mypaneltab" class="ddpaneltab">
<a href="#"><span>Toggle</span></a>
</div>
</div>
You could change "Toggle" to be whatever you want.

Dynamic Drive always has some pretty cool stuff.

Oh! And there is also MooTools, which has a pretty neat accordion dropdown that you could use your own graphic and text, etc. instead of theirs:

HTH a bit,

Brenda, here is a MooTools one that doesn't use graphics: http://demos.mootools.net/Accordion

Okay, I better get back to work.

Hey Jules,
I just remembered Mootools and came back to the forum to post it- you beat me. LOL

Good Luck Brenda!

What a hoot!

I installed the MooTools plugin (for the framework) for WP, so I'm going to be dinking around with this a bit on my site. (I tend to be a wee bit wordy, and thought that might be a good option to fit more content without taking up so much real estate on my site ).

Thank you so much! I'll check them all out this afternoon.

More fun toys to play with...woohoo...thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions! Today, a client asked me to find something very similar to this to display the transcribed text for a video series she's going to be posting. The Accordian will definitely be a good suggestion.

Thanks!
