Loading in material without refreshing a page is one of many possible benefits of AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML). In jQuery for example, this could be accomplished using the load method. Here is a video by Chris Coyier that may help you understand how to do it: http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/85-best-practices-dynamic-content/.
I would like to know what this type of style is called and how to do it? I only have examples as I can never describe it properly.
Like this one: Weebly's Features Page
Where you have the areas/menus then when you click on them the information pops out without you having to leave the page.
Does anyone know what this is called or how it is done?
Some form of (vertical) tabbed navigation.

Here is a video by Chris Coyier that may help you understand how to do it: http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/85-best-practices-dynamic-content/.There are a whole bunch of hidden divs stacked on top of one another that are shown/hidden when the list item is clicked. It's done using javascript.
Simple as that.
Thank you much!
