jQuery Drop Down Panel question

I'm very new to jQuery, just learning through playing with it, so please assume I'm a complete noob.

I am interested in implementing the Drop Down Panel script:

http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/dropdownpanel.shtml

but I want to trigger the panel to drop down via a link embedded on the page rather than via the tab (in fact, I plan to eliminate the tab altogether - but I worked that out on my own). Can someone point me in the direction of where/how I can learn how to do the call via a link?

Not being lazy - I did spend about 6 hours yesterday trying to figure it out but no luck :)

Sure, you can directly call the code:

jkpanel.$mainpanel.click()

to open/close the panel. Using a link then, it'd look something like:

<a href="#" onClick="jkpanel.$mainpanel.click(); return false">Open/ Close panel</a>

Perfect, thanks George, just what I needed. I got close to that, but not quite :)

Baby steps...

Dear Admin
I m trying to figure out the dropdown panel but i like to use two tabs in the panelcontent.htm. The issue is, if i clicked any place the panel become close. May i know is there any solution for this. Please help me out.
