@SyCoJun 03.2009 — #This is done with javascript and CSS not PHP. You can create that effect with a hidden div that appears onclick of 'Login' with javascript.
The fades can be accomplished using something like scriptaculous or mootools. If you need transparent borders you can Google for the numerous tutorials, here's a pretty good one.
@SyCoJun 03.2009 — #I'm not sure what else you need. My snippet is the basic idea, scriptaculous and mootools are free libraries that are pretty simple to use and if you want the transparent border you'll need to read up a bit. I did find the link for you so that's one less thing you have to do. I can't read it for you though, sorry.
I don't know if you'll find an open source digg style login ready to go. You might have to write some of the code yourself. Bummer, I know.
@SyCoJun 04.2009 — #Err, that was a double helping of sarcasm. I basically gave the guy most of the code he needs and told him where to find the rest and he still wants it done for him. It would take about 20 minutes to have a fading in div from this point to done if he just read how to use the JavaScript libraries (10 of the 20 mins).
@ryanlundJun 04.2009 — #Lol sorry, my thinking isnt exactly clear at that time on a morning - especially since i didnt get any sleep the night before. Loving your signiture btw - just getting rid of bloody vista myself in favour of linux =)
@etardJun 05.2009 — #I do not use Digg.. but could you not use Shadowbox to achieve the same thing and have the Shadowbox open your form page via the HTML plugin included with SB?
visit the link I gave you, go down to the Miscellaneous > Simple Form example and there you go.
this script contains all you need, but the form of your of course.
