Hello all!

I did some searching but didn't find anything, so maybe the MacRumors Geniuses can help me!

I'm working on a website (self taught and at a just-below-moderate skill level) and I want to create some dynamic content, most likely using ajax.

The effect that I am trying to achieve is like what Apple does on their website:

http://www.apple.com/imac/performance.html
(Scroll about half way down to the box on the right for 21.5" and 27" graphics performance.)

I found this example, http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxcontent.htm but I don't know how to make it fade. Plus, Apple's, naturally, looks a lot nicer.

The free template I am using is called pluralism found here (http://www.freecsstemplates.org/download/zip/pluralism)

Thank you for any and all help!

-Steve

You don't likely need AJAX, just JavaScript. AJAX deals with getting content from the server. You just want to transition content, essentially tabbed content with a transition. Check out this tutorial for a solution. (http://www.raymondselda.com/create-a-tabbed-content-rotator-using-jquery/)
