I really like the floating panel on the left side of the following site:
I have no idea what its called, but I like how when you click on the search button, it expands to a search page, you click on another icon, and it expands with what appears like its own page.
How do I accomplish this? Is there some tutorial out there using html5, JavaScript or jQuery?
NOTE: All the answers so far only cover the floating bar, but not the clicking on a link on that floating bar to show a window expanded to the right.
