I knew that things like autocomplete on text fields were possible, but I thought they would be clunky in practice. Even after seeing gmail in action I still didn’t get it. Well, I get it now. Try typing some things in the "Live Search" box on the right side of this page.

And now it comes to Seaside:

        What this means, effectively, is that invoking this handler makes a
        request in the background, which the webserver can respond to by
        returning a new version of any part of the current page that it likes.
        That part of the page gets swapped out seamlessly for the new version.
        The thing I like about this is that it gives all the power to the server
        side: only after having processed the request does the decision have to
        be made about what parts of the page are affected and need to be
        redrawn, and those parts can be sent back to the client.

So now I would like to get this going in Borges. If I don’t have something posted by Monday, call me out on it.
