[help] Doing a little site work

Hey,

Recently I have been working on a way to emulate the mail.app 2.0 skin as a webpage. So far all I have gotten was a basic page up with no sidebars and a preview of what i would like done in the end.

http://mneonline.bizhat.com/index.htm is the layout as it is now

http://mneonline.bizhat.com/preview_files/...d%2520copy.jpg? here is what I wanted done.

Now in mail, any mail program when you click a message to view up top. It will display the actual message in its entirety in the box at the bottom. I would like to know how to implement this skin onto a program like wordpress, and have it so when i update the news it will show the subject uptop and when i click on it it will show the entire message at the bottom box.

First of all, is this possible?

and second, would anyone be intersted in helping me? This seems like a very hard task to accomplish alone.

Thanks,

Pops

Forbidden to view the second picture :

To do that, you can search for a javascript collapse script, but then you'd have to dynamically assign each entry an id. Basically your "message subject" [entry title] is the button that when you click, it changes the entry body's id style from display:none; to display:block;, so then it'll appear wherever you placed the entry body with the display:none; attribute.

Add a "?" after the url for the image and you'll see the picture. Your server probably has hotlink protection enabled.

it seems as if you are trying to skin a webmail client or make your own ... if so .. i would suggest with skinning a current program like .. squirrle mail its much easier
