Javascript - Can I load certain html elements on click?

    As the title says, can I load particular elements on click?

    I'm working on a Wordpress site where one of the post types has up to 6 custom fields for additional content. The content in these fields can be quite slow (vimeo videos etc).

    Right now it works off what is essentially a simple tabbed layout with a menu on the right hand side which alternates the css display property using jQuery. I think this works fine, but the sites owner would prefer if the tabs didn't all load at once - ie:they would load as a user selects them.

    Is this possible? Would I need AJAX or something?

    For now at least I'd rather not have to go breaking the posts up into individual posts/pages if it can be helped.

    Thanks in advance.

    Look for a plugin that only displays content as needed.
    There are probably numerous ones that only load images as needed and the concept could be applied to other content.

    Have a look at the WP UI plugin, it uses the jQuery UI library. WP UI components demo
