Step 1

First create a DIV element with attribute ID value container. The layar contains of two DIV elements attribute class values right and left.

<div id='container'> 
<div class='right'></div> 
<div class='left'></div>
</div>

Step 2

Now create a panel-frame DIV element inside the container DIV. This layer contain a DIV element attribute class value panel (sliding or rolling).

<div id='container'> 
<div class='right'></div>
<div id="panel-frame"> 
<div class="panel"></div>
</div>
<div class='left'></div> 
</div>

Step 3

Here the final HTML code ready. Now using jQuery to sliding or rolling the <div class='panel'>...</div>
HTML Code

<div id='container'>
// Right part
<div class='right'>
</div>

<div id="panel-frame">
<div class="panel">
<div class="head"> <a href="#" class="close">Close</a></div>
<div class="data">
// jquery id
</div>
</div>
</div>

//Left Part
<div class="left">
// Message display here
<div class="block" id="1">1</div>
<div class="block" id="2">2</div>
...............................
...............................
</div>

</div>

Javascript
$(".block").click(function(){})- block is the class name of DIV tag. Using$(this).attr('id') - calling DIV tag ID value.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{

$('.block').click(function()
{
var id= $(this).attr('id'); // .block ID
var data_id= $(".data").html(); // .data DIV value
var panel= $('.panel');
var panel_width=$('.panel').css('left'); // rolling panel width


if(data_id==id)
{
// Rolling Animation
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
}
else
{
// panel width CSS width:340px + border:1px = 341px
if(panel_width=='341px')
{
// No rolling animation
}
else
{
// Rolling Animation
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
}
}
// passing id value to <div class='data'$gt; </div>
$('.data').html(id);
return false;
});

// panel close link
$('.close').click(function()

var panel= $('.panel');
panel.animate({left: parseInt(panel.css('left'),0) == 0 ? +panel.outerWidth() : 0});
return false;
});
