"Slide-in" Script Search

Might there be a code capable of replicating a Macromedia Flash action in which, upon triggering it, a panel slides into view (overlapping what content is already present within the browser window) and drops back down upon hovering over other elements of the page? Flash example: <snip>

Yep. The panel should be a div that originally has its coordinates set to be off the screen (don't forget that some people have very big screens). Then use the moveBy method in a timed loop to slide the div until it is in the new position. To detect the hover use the onMouseOver event of the element to call a similar timed loop to slide the div back.
