Sorry, I should have clarified this as follows:
I would like to modify the website such that if a link is clicked, I would
like it to be opened in a floating window as seen at this site:
http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/samples.html
See sample 2: where the RubyOnRails.com site gets opened in a window.
If somebody could quickly give me an example on how to do it or help me
correct the code below, I would really appreciate it.
Here is a sample window that I was trying to write:
<html>
<head>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="prototype.js"></script>
<script src="window.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content" style="float:left;width:1000px;
height:800px;background:#DDDDDD; color:#000; font-size:12px;">
</div>
<script>
var win = new Window( 'content_popup', {
title: "Terms and Conditions",
top:70, left:100, width:300, height:200,
resizable: true, url: "http://www.google.com/";,
showEffectOptions: { duration: 3 }
}
);
win.show();
function openContentWindow() {
contentWin = new Window('content_win', {className: "darkX",
resizable: false, hideEffect:Element.hide, showEffect:Element.show})
contentWin.setContent('content', true, true)
contentWin.toFront();
contentWin.setDestroyOnClose();
contentWin.show();
}
</script>
<br>
<li> <a href="javascript:win.show()">Show Window</a>
</body>
</html>

Unfortunately, AJAX has little to do with HTML coding (if there is such a
thing). It is an advanced concept for retrieving dynamic content from a
remote server without the need for refreshing the page. I've looked briefly
at your site, but I see no reason whatsoever why you would want to go that
way. Your site is a traditional content site and is best helped with some
graphical design and new static HTML pages.
If you want to go from static to dynamic, AJAX is neither the choice for
you. What you need then is a good CMS (Content Management System). But
considering the current content, it is probably better to stick to old
fashioned static pages.

If you want to go this way anyway, then the first thing to find out is:
why you want it and what you think you can get out of it; i.e., what problem
you think you can resolve by using AJAX technologoy. The second thing to do
is to find yourself a tutorial on JavaScript, XML and XMLHttpRequest. Using
AJAX technology is pretty advanced stuff. PWC (Prototype Windows Classes)
makes life easier (but is itself not per se about AJAX, it is just a
beautiful set of classes that brings a windowing sub system to your RIA
(Rich Internet Application) or other web application), but still requires
you to understand what you're up against.

What you really need is a designer, an (X)HTML and/or DHTML tutorial, and
someone who can help you with digitizing your pictures (try GIMP if you need
free software). Also, if you don't want to code it by hand, there are
numerous excellent page design programs available (literally thousands of
them) that can make your life easier.
Good luck with your website,
Cheers,
