What javascript slide-in works best across multiple browsers?
 

I want to delay the slide-in for a few seconds, so when people actually read more than 4 seconds I can give them an opportunity to join the newsletter. I also would love the option to let people click "Don't show this again"...

Anyone have any tips?

or also good, but a little more advanced than that...
http://jquery.com/

I'd also suggest jQuery.

Assuming you wanted to slide an ad in when something is clicked. You'd just adjust the animate method to move your element to where you'd like it to go.

$("#clicked_element").click(function(){ $("#my_ad").animate({"left": "+=50px"}, "slow");});

Lots of different events you can bind to besides a click.

jQuery tools is a very nice, and a lot lighter jQuery implementation

^ Looks like they are just selling plugins that are implemented using the jQuery library.

The plugins look good, but I don't think the jQuery library itself is any lighter.

Plus, if you're interested in speed, just use compression and caching. minify is awesome. It can combine all css and js into a single http request:

What is John chow using? Open the site and stay there a second or two.

Quite a few different scripts, including 2 different versions of jQuery it looks like.

Yeah, that's a little odd.

can you define slidein?

Im assuming its not a carousel you are looking for but a jquery popup slider?

Slide in, slide over, fade in, fade over, whatever... I'm looking for something that looks slick and people have to take action on to continue reading the article.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd a bump for the night crew :)

can you show a site with a sample

He also has a cool footer ad for his newsletter: http://www.johnchow.com/make-money-o...ate-footer-ad/

Thanks fris :thumbsup

He uses aweber.com - Same service I use, it has a little admin that lets you do popups/unders/exits and light boxes, css fade ins, outs, left/right/bottm/top slide ins, several goodies really.

Looks around the mootools collection for jquery...

I have ultimate footer ad and header ad, nice script

Sounds cool as shit, but I'm using feedburner.

Feedburner is for your rss feeds, so people can subscribe to them and you can keep track of the information. I use feedburner on all my feeds.

Aweber is an email auto responder service. A white listed, opt in email service for mainstream mail.

John Chow for example is offering you a free ebook on how he makes money, in exchange for your email address.
