Is there any way to have a layer hidden and have it not load the data (like a inline) then when it's made visible have it load the inline page?

You would use ajax for that. Do a search on Google for "ajax content area" or something to that effect.

Something like this maybe..

You'd probably have to combine that with some divs/more javascript to initially hide the content area until a link is clicked though, in which case it would show the hidden div and pull the data.
