I tried the form at that site; on IE it did nothing when a search was typed, showing no records, while on FF it showed all records and wouldn''t allow me to type anything at all.
Then I installed Flash Player 8, restarted both browser sessions and tried it again; it works in IE and still doesn't work in FF (the cursor location is out by a large margin so it clicks in the wrong place). Anyway, implementing similar functionality with CFAJAX would be straightforward. Dynamically rewriting the contents of a scrolling div based on the same searching CFC used in the flash form would be a few lines of code. I dare say it would load quicker too - the form took a while to show up on my older box. I would also be able to copy and paste the results, something I can't do with the flash form as it is.
