Is there an expanding div effect like this in jquery?

Is there an expanding div effect like this in jquery?

What I would like to do is have like six different colored squares on a page with a lot of white space around them, and some white space in between them. I'd like to be able to click on a square and it open up/transition to a full screen, or near full screen layout with content in it.

Here is an example, but this example isn't working in IE8 here at work. It worked in IE8 at home. Don't know why.

Any suggestion would be welcomed.

Thank you
