Hello,

I am currently building a website and I would like to emulate the story navigation used by The Herald newspaper. The story appears on an html page. Please take a look at:

http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/55990.html

As you can see the story is 4 pages long and you can navigate back and forward without leaving the html page. I think it is probably javascript though I am not 100% sure. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,

John :)

Yes it's js. All the "pages" are hidden in the html and displayed with js.

It's not very well written though. If you turn js off you don't see the story at all.

That's really silly, especially when it's so easily avoided. If you just use JS to hide the elements onload, then they'd all be visible when JS is not present.

John,

I know I just recently saw this exact menu type discussed but I can't find it right now. You should be able to find it through Google. In the meantime, try these:
