Ned Advise on jazzing up site

[eluser]Frank Rocco[/eluser]
Hello,

I have a plain CI site that sells tires.
I am not a graphics person, and the owner wants to add pop to it.
I assume something like jquery and css.

Are there any free templates or tutorials that can guide me?

Thanks

Hi this can be done fairly easily using Jquery, take a look at http://jqueryui.com/demos/

this type of thing can be made use of quite nicely:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/

very easy to use!

You may also need to add an onclick:

Code:

$('.selector').click(function(e){
   #invoke dialog here;
  e.preventDefault();#ensures the link is not followed or button submitted!
  })

Replace .selector with whatever it is that you want the user to click on to onvoke the dialog.
Plenty of other GUI stuff on Jqueryui though, so dont stop with just a dialog box!
