Are you thinking about a parallax effect?
This theme demo shows the idea:

Try searching for “WordPess theme parallax” if that’s what you want.
Hmm, I don’t think so (though I’ve now learned what a parallax effect is, so thanks for that new term).
I don’t want the content to appear to slide up the screen — I think the effect I’m after is more like a slider, where clicking on the option you want on the sidebar (“2010 Awards”) causes the content you want (the 2010 awards recipients) to simply appear in the right-hand main content area, without changing the URL of the page you’re on.
You want in page linking.
For that you need to modify the content of the page a bit and link page content with menu item you created in left side.
Here are steps:-
1. Divide page content with div and individual Ids.
example
<div id="2013Awards">
2013 Awards text </div>
<div id="2010Awards">
2010 Awards text </div>
2. Now create custom menu items for menu you want to show in left.
example.
Url: #2013Awards
Link Text: 2013 Awards
and
Url: #2010Awards
Link Text: 2010 Awards
Now page text will link the content of page and will be on same page instead of loading a new page.
OK, thanks — I’ll experiment with that.
