Dev - quick ajax demo

[Adam Heath-2]

With all the talk about ajax voodoo, I slapped something together, as a proof
of concept.  The following url only does client-side lookups; no server-side,
hitting submit will not do anything.  Also, none of the returned rows are
clickable, and it doesn't do paging(fortunately, the database doesn't have
much in it right now).

http://www.brainfood.com/PartyLookup

As you type in each of the form fields, it'll do an OR query using
XMLHttpRequest and JSON.

So, it wouldn't be hard to get this going.

as you want, the java script error is:
Line 262: char: 3
Error: 'undefined' is null or not an object
Code:0

It doesn't work with ie.  Please try firefox.  It was a quick thing, no
attempt at cross-browser stuff.  Sorry.

Adam,

This looks good.  Is this just plain XMLHttpRequest and JSON or did
you use any other AJAX frameworks.

plain.  I wrote a helper object, that walks a form, finding all <input
type="text">, and installing event handlers in them.  a 300 ms delay after
typing, it does the XMLHttpRequest, using JSON as the protocol, then doing
standard DOM calls.

It's much more complete now.

* Works in IE.
* Uses DHTML to display different ContentInfo panes.
* All fields are now searchable.
* Displays same set of fields as findparty.bsh.
* Only returns 5 items to the client(the beginnings of proper pagination).
