Yahoo have used a script to do this - when you click on the play video link, it moves the content underneath down to allow room to load in the youtube video.

I can't imagine it's that hard to do, but then again I'm a coding noob - I expect some more knowledgable folks will be along to help shortly.

You may be able to achieve a similar effect with CSS visibility attribute, but I'm no expert on that either!

This effect is done by using javascript, Its very easy stuff only with a simple script you can do it. What we do is by using on click event of an element or a link we make the other element (which contains the video) to display and hide.

 

See below an example

 

var refer=true;
function showHide() 
{
if (refer) {
document.getElementById('video').style.display='';
refer=false;
}
else {
document.getElementById('video').style.display='none';
refer=true;
}
}

 

here refer is used as a global variable, this is used as we are clicking on a single element and we have to catch each instance when it is clicked.

So, once we click the link refer=true; and again when we click then refer=false;. this goes on randomly.
