Re: Need some pointers on how i can accomplish my idea for a website

The idea that I'm trying to archive is, lets say for example i wanted
a taskbar style at the bottom of my page. One of the buttons i would
want to act very similar to how the "start" button works for windows.
You'd click on it, get the menu, go to the submenu and see your
option. I'd actually be trying to get it to look very much like how
KDE 3.5 looks. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I will
probably need to know javascript to be able to get something like that
that acts very dynamic. Any pointers on things i can focus more on
learning (if it is java or whatever it is) would be the best of
help.

Also, the other thing is that lets say you've clicked on my "start"
menu selected Multimedia and in there selected an app, IE GTKPOD.
Once you click on it, it would open a box in the browser. Not another
tab, or another browser session but a box. I've seen them used when
you want to see a larger preview of a picture. They usually only show
a close button if your mouse is highlighted over them. And in that
window you would go through pictures that would be steps on how to use
the program.

I know this kind of post might stray away some because it might take
more than just a few words to tell me what i should be looking to
learn but thats all i'm really after. Really any help would be very
awesome! :D

You can create a bottom, always-showing bar with css. The dynamic stuff
you want probably does require javascript although some dynamic actions
can be done via php scripting as well. IE 6 will most likely require
special solutions for it to function similar to more modern browsers.
