Yahoo Home Page Tutorial - How?

[liquidstar]

I made a mistake, and at this point, looks like I've written a check (programming wise) that I can't cash. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm sure most of you have noticed the really cool tutorial over at Yahoo! explaining their new homepage. Well, after a quick view through some downloaded pages and an hour in JQuery, I told my boss, "absolutely, we can do that".

30 hours later, I've just scrubbed version 2 (optimistically titled "fresh"). I've been through JQuery and Scriptaculous. I was looking at the Yahoo! API, but ,either because it is or because I've had way too much Mountain Dew, it looks poorly documented and cumbersome.

The main sticking point is getting the semi transparent div to cover on click then go away on click. I'm in a .NET envirnment and there are quite a few things being brought into the page from external calls. (for what it's worth, I have a static version that got a "that's awesome, do whatever it takes to implement that into our live envirnment" from my boss).

Is it the .NET, the 15 hours of staring at code, general stupidity, any/all/none of the above?

Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure I get what you're asking, but... Does this do it?

<div onclick="this.style.display=='none'?this.style.display='block':this.style.display='none';"></div>

Sounds like you're looking for info on the Yahoo UI (YUI) Utilities? If some, you might want to check out the blog:
