ajax line animation

May 25th, 2009

Hi,

I'm pretty much a noob to ajax but I'm trying to get me head around it and have been very impressed so far.

I'm stuck with trying to make/find a script though.

I want a line to be drawn from one button to a series of others when you click it. Fairly similar to the navigation on this site, http://www.a2sm.lt, but not exactly the same.

Also that site does it in flash which I generally try to avoid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Dave

OK, lets get one thing clear: AJAX involves sending requests to another server and processing the response. DHTML involves manipulating the DOM. Fancy effects are NOT AJAX, they are DHTML. And to achieve the same effects as Flash in HTML you really have no other choice but to use a <canvas> tag which is in HTML5 and not supported by all browsers.
