Gimme more Ajax!

'Bush's demise?''Ajaxifying Pivot: How did I do …'

Wednesday Sep 14 2005

I guess I'm officially going crazy over Ajax and the wonderful prototype.js javascript library! I just added live search in full Ajax glory to this website. Works like a charm in MSIE, Firefox and Safari. It uses a hacked version of Pivot's search.php in order to search my site, some CSS and some Javascript. This is getting extremely addictive I'm afraid! I might not be able to control myself and come up with some more nice things in the future. I can really highly recommend prototype.js, it kicks a llama's ass!

Wanna try the new live search? Just enter something in the search box on the top right, 'google' for example, and you'll see the magic.
