Place one of those funky side-tabs on your page and have your content slide in from the browsers edges.
Can serve as:
-
Info pane
-
Help
-
Contact form
-
just about anything you can put in a div
See example here: salesking.github.com/king_slide_tabs/
Look into the source and use firebug to get a grasp of it .. as long as the docs are sparse :-)
A slide in tab can be any div. It must contain an handle element(f.ex a.handle) which is visible to the user and when clicked the whole tab slides out
<div id="infoTab"> <h3>Info</h3> <p>hello tab content</p> <a class="handle" href="#">TabHandle(txt invisible)</a> </div>
Javascript
$('#infoTab').kingSlideTab({ tabHandle: '.handle' //.. more options see js });
This repo started with a clone of code.google.com/p/tab-slide-out/ from wpaoli wpaoli.building58.com/ During it’s implementation at SalesKing it got some enhancements.
