I hope to create a website simple website with:
Left menu with items to click
When each item clicked, right menu is changed with new content. The content is always: title, picture 1, text description, picture 2. Same format for all left menu items.
Ideally I want the page to be just 1 page, without frame or separate .html files. If the item is clicked, jQuery will change the photos on right side with photo url in some array.
Is there an easy way to create this with existing templates somewhere? Either from internet, Wordpress (without database), Dreamweaver, or Dreamweaver plug-in... I just want to avoid having to do from scratch.
If you imagine this right, it could be just like a help page from MSDN, IBM or Apple Developer website. Just don't want to do each html separately due to potential change in format later.
Thanks.
Basically, each "page" should be placed in a div that is hidden with css. jQuery can show and hide the divs with a variety of effects.
I have created a simple example for you here:

Whilst the exact specifications you require may not exist already, there are other options in jQuery.
Notably, a search for a 'jQuery gallery' returns many options varying in design, implementation and complexity.
Have a look for yourself!
I hope this answer solves your question.
It's my first answer, so go easy! :]

I am having trouble figuring out how to do even the simplest things in Alfresco, like typing a simple document. I've been Googling and noticed that customizations can be done through HTML documents. I need help and decided to post a question to a knowledgeable user platform. THe following customizations I would like are WAY far fetched and most likely not even achievable, but any help that can be provided I would really appreciate.
*list items in bold are most important
Anyone could be assigned a login and when they logged in they would have access to and easily view all of the contents of the site (or multiple sites that make up one accessible website?)
All of the items on the website would be a hierarchy, the user facing contents of the site would be a list of links with thumbnails, when one link was clicked it would be another list of links with large thumbnails, when one of those links was clicked a text document would be brought up, that document would contain clickable sections, when one of those sections was clicked it would bring up a page only containing the section clicked:
Links (crafts)
2nd layer of links (modules)
Text and image document with clickable links (single module containing clickable sections)
Section (single sections of module)
The module and section text would also contain images and tables throughout and mixed in the text
If a link (module or section) was used in multiple places all instances of the link would be linked to each other. If on instance was edited, the other would also change. THis setting could be turned off for any individual link if necessary.
Every document should have an easy to use live commenting system (something simple like Disqus would work) The comments are the most important on the single section pages but would also be good on the module page
An advanced tagging system that would be part of the entire site/website environment. A user could type anything they wanted as a tag and use multiple tags. The tags would be used for their comments on the content (text, sections) but the tags could be searched (most importantly by the administrators of the site) at any time in the whole environment. A popularity of any tag could also be viewed (I'm not sure how that would work, possibly another section of the site or an easy to see column on any text/image document?)
A user could edit their own comment if they wished but would not be able to delete it entirely. Comments would also be date and time stamped.
I know all of this is most likely impossible but if anyone has an idea of Alfresco customizations that could pull any of this off, or of an entirely different secure platform or site that would perform anything similar to this please let me know.
Thank you!
It sounds like you are looking for a Web Content Management (WCM) System. Alfresco is a Document Management (DM) System. You can use Alfresco as a back-end for a custom content-centric solution, but if you are expecting to install it, start it up, and have anything close to what you've listed above, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Everything you've listed is a front-end concern. You can use whatever you want to develop that functionality, but none of it will leverage Alfresco unless you choose to store some of the data in the Alfresco back-end.
You might be better off looking at something in the WCM space, such as Drupal or Wordpress. Or if you want something Java-based, look at Magnolia CMS or Hippo CMS.
This may sound like a really stupid question for you guys, but how can I use the inspect elements tool on Chrome to identify the source of a particular section of a website? To make it simpler to understand, I want to modify the footer of a particular website (WordPress based).
The problem is that the footer was customized (which means I can’t edit through the WP backend) so I need to find where exactly or what’s generating this footer.
Does this make any sense to you?
I'm pretty sure you can't do this in Developer tools as wordpress is PHP based, chrome only sees the compile code.
What I would do in your situation is to try searching the theme folder for an ID, Class or piece of code that is unique to the footer and try that way.
This can be done by visting the website, right clicking and selecting Inspect.
The developer tools dropdown will appear. In the top left corner there is an icon with a pointer hovering over a screen (this is the inspect element tool). Click this, and move your pointer on to the part of the webpage you wish to find the HTML for.
The html for that part of the website will be highlighted in the developer window, making it easy for you to see.
You can then either , edit inline in the browser to get an immediate view of the changed code (this will not be permanent, or change you code file), or use that location, to return to your WP editor and make permanent changes.
I'm creating an iphone (web)app.
If user slides tumb left it has to show the settings panel, after modifying settings, user drags thumb to the right and the normal app screen comes back.
However I took as basis some carrousel code which needs (minimal) 3 pages, I only want 2 pages.
Current state:

I can't remove the red page without breaking everything....
Edit:
More information about code used here.
I tried cruising through your code but I couldn't identify exactly what the issue was. It's a good idea and I felt like playing around with it so I wrote an implementation that is capable of only two panels that you're welcome to use if you wish.

So I have a bit of script at the bottom of my page //RETAINER CURRENT that is supposed to hide and show content based on what menu item the user selects in the maincontent area. Unfortunately in IE7 all layers are rendered which means the videos in each layer play simultaneous. I tried .detach, .remove, methods and had no luck and when I saved the items to an array and .empty 'd them I still had no success. What noob mistake am I making?

I had the same issue. I was using asp.net so the way I was able to solve this was by using updatepanels and handling the hiding/showing in the code behind with Panels.
I'm not sure what fraemwork/language you are using.
However, I think you might need to call into the flash object and pause/stop the flash videos programmatically.
Twitter recently added hoverable multi-media "tooltips" -- when you hover over a username or avatar on your feed, it pops up (in-place) more details on the user (tweets sent/received, location, last tweet). It also includes a "Follow" button. There's a 'more-info' link which will load some more details on-demand.
I'd like to emulate how they're doing this-- which I think is a very elegant solution. There's a single empty/hidden div on the page, and on hover, that div is relocated to the appropriate place, display is set to "block" and populated with information (on-demand).
If I'm on the prototype/scriptaculous framework, is there a straightforward way of doing this same implementation? I don't have the ability to use other frameworks. Thank you in advance!
