I want to have a "popover" window come up, pretty much exactly as amazon has it, for there "see all 31 categories" menu, when you scroll over.
Anyone know a good way to do that??
Also the information in that window will come from a database, so I would prefer to have it be something that happens without reloading the whole page.
I'm thinking that sounds liks a job for AJAX, but I've never used it and don't know how to do this.

I posted a wwHoverPanel class that does this sort of thing with asynchronous callbacks last week. Take a look here:

It handles all the details of popping up a window at the current mouse position as well as providing a simple callback method interface to the server.
