DD Drop Down Panel modification

[shlajfka]

1) Script Title: DD Drop Down Panel

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pdownpanel.htm

3) Describe problem:
Hello. Great script. I just want to know, could it be positioned on bottom and when toggle button is pressed to drop up to top. Thanks

There's no easy way unfortunately. This mostly has to do with the fact that when you reveal a DIV into view using CSS, it always expands downwards. There's no way to reveal an element by expanding it from bottom to top (that I'm aware of).

thank you anyway

Here's something similar using Mootools. Click the thumbnails in the section entitled "Website Samples"

Ashely:
That's actually a different type of effect than that of the DD Panel script actually. It's merely animating an absolutely positioned element on the page, hence it's easy to create the effect of it sliding upwards. The DD Panel script on the other hand actually animates an inline content on the page (so the rest of the page's content gets pushed up/down at the same time).

The effect cited in your link is closer in nature to this one on DD: http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/bottomtool.htm

Nice! I like that better!
