You know when you get into a page and then you see a layer advertising I think its DHTML like in the front of everything like ti was a pop up but it isnt it is an animmation.

Does anyone have an idea of what I am talking about?

I want to design one of those how can I do it?

Thanks

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for!

How can I make like a big box that has a form asking people to subscribe to my newsletter?

And I also want to have a button for them to close the box and also if possible a cookie that only shows the box once for each visitor

just build a page withwhat you want to show and have that page included inside of the div tag layer.

I did that same type thing on a project but i used it for a loading bar with javascript. So when i click on a link it actived the layer, then onload it triggered the layer off

That one's awesome! I've seen the effect before, but the motion is always very jerky. That one has smooth-scrolling.

@joephill:
You can always use "view source" in your browser on pages you like, to find example code for the effects you're after. That's often the best way to learn.

this example got simpler one, you can replace the current form with your own form http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/floating-email-this-link.html

The most comfortable tool to make such effects with dynamic layers is DreamWaver...
