How to create a small widget with JavaScript

I really don't know how to describe it, but if you figured it out and had experience in this area, maybe you can help me with something "Open Source" and "Ready-made".

I want to create something like a window or widget where you can change its contents by clicking some buttons at the top of the window. (Hey, the drawer is on a webpage and this should use Ajax and Javascript).

I tried some ready-made scripts but I found them limited and they were driving me crazy, JS frameworks don't offer such a solution either. Does any body have an idea in this field?

Just because the field is on the webpage doesn't mean it has to use AJAX, Omar. Have you thought about using a third party solution like ClearSpring or WidgetBox ? If you need to put your widget on Myspace, you will need one of these.



However, I've picked up a couple of JavaScript-only works for this problem; see Twitterati and Post your Digg In A Box for an example, and the Global Widget Summit for an explanation.
