Hi
I spent 2 days now looking for a solution for a seemingly simple problem. I am writing a website in PHP an I would like to create a text box with links and maybe small pictures in it that I can scroll.
As an example I would mention the "Related Videos" section in youtube.
(example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J9acWBr9OM)
I understand that youtube is 90% PHP (front end) and 10% Python (back end).
Can anyone help me with a link, a suggestion or something so I can create the same effect. Thank you.

The effect of something like that is purely HTML/CSS related. Some of the aspects of it, such as the dynamically loaded content when different tabs are clicked, is done with AJAX. However, the visual aspect is strictly markup related, and can be achieved by applying the vertical scrollbar property to a <div> element in HTML and CSS. Then the content within the <div> element, such as links and pictures, is simply more HTML generated with PHP.
