You see the tweetboard "tweets" tab on the left hand side?
Does anyone know how to make something similar? Nothing too complicated, just simple a simple HTML link to another site?

Not that it's favoured much in webdesign...but have you tried the idea of iframes?

Not really. I'm not entirely sure how I'd do that one. It'd be quite simple to create a div I guess, and just place an <a href=""><img src=""></a> within the div?

It's really simple to do.. You just place a div absolute to the left side and 50% of the top -the height.. then Just make it fixed so it scrolls along :p and then add your stuff to the div.

Look here for a tutorial: Slide-Out Feedback Button for the Side of a Webpage

or: Creating a simple feedback button | MediaFormations

Thanks mate. Exactly what I was looking for. This can be closed now.

And make a few AJAX calls to retrieve data.

And JavaScript for a smooth pop-out effect ;)

The floating "tweets" button is really easy, but the pop-out menu can be hard if you add up all the little features here/there.

Copy the script directly from ragezone.

As much as I would advice that as well, I would extremely extremely discourage that. For one, this "JavaScript Tabbing" is actually easy once you are able to grasps the concept of it. If you were to create your own JavaScript tabbing, you can just setup 2 DIV Layers.

Hide one and show one - the one that is being shown you can load data into it via an Ajax request (this can be easily achieved through jQuery's Load() function, trust me, go with jQuery).

Setup click events for your tab buttons, and on Click, hide one, show the other and vice versa. However, this may seem confusing, therefore my best recommendation for you is to check jQuery UI (sorry, I have a 'fetish' for jQuery xD some would notice from my many other posts).

Take a look at: jQuery UI - Tabs Demos & Documentation
I am sure you would be impressed :)
