Hi all, does anyone know of any easy to customise free or nicked ajax script that works like the bbc website does, as i love how it all move around then floats into its new place i would really like to introduce this on an affiliate website i am making, thanks guys neil.
Try the RocketTheme Terran Tribune template. That template is basically a clone of the BBC site anyway (well, heavily influenced by). Otherwise, do a little poking around, the underlying JS/Ajax that powers that sort of thing is all over the place.
What you need is an ajax library or framework. There are quite a few around mostly open source, there's even offering from Google and Yahoo Take a look at prototype, there are some interesting examples on their site hxxp://www.prototypejs.org/ another interesing one is hxxp://www.dropthings.com/ for some real cool ajax look at hxxp://www.pageflakes.com/ for real deep tech stuff try hxxp://msmvps.com/blogs/omar/default.aspx
Personally I use Prototype, you might also want to take a look at script.aculo.us for visual effects.
Another really nice ajax library to definitely consider is hxxp://www.extjs.com other templates that have some good ajax effects based on mootools are the yootheme templates found on hxxp://www.yootheme.com but they are for joomla, not that they can not be adapted I have adapted a few myself to plain html
