I'm using xmlhttp to return search results for my blog entries at: http://webaugur.com/ With mine you have to press enter and the results load into a div below the search box. I also implemented history tracking and bookmarking. The search query persists across pages if you follow a link to one of the results. For example, this performs a client-side query for "swish-e": http://webaugur.com/#w=swish-e Which calls this script on the backend to return XML: http://webaugur.com/dave/blogger/swish-e.php?w=swish-e Source view: http://webaugur.com/dave/blogger/swish-e.phps Javascript: http://webaugur.com/augur.js -- David L Norris http://webaugur.com/ ICQ - 412039
