Another AJAX idea.

So I named it Live Sidebars. As in my later post. I started using SAJAX and after 2 days I gave it up (using it as a plugin), although I made some progress showing/hidding using ajax. Then I went on to do “Live ‘Posts’”using sack.

Now for some sites which have codings for expanding/contracting or showing/hidding items here are some.

More Info tabs. Which was inspired by

Look at the cool sliding “more infos”

So, already so many implementations out there using show/hide. But no ajax yet, does that means there’s no need for it?

But first, i’ll try collapseit. See if its hackable to give the "More info" effect and then try adding ajax. If not, its time for me to drop it.
