Thanks for your reply.
I thought a bit about it. Even if it is Ajax and Web2.0ish,
it can be very useful to relift the usability of certain legacy
applications,
the kind of stuffs developed years after years by various developers, with
various
frameworks, coding styles, various servers, etc...
Dunno if some of the list members here have to struggle with such websites,
if its your case, you know how difficult it is to maintain and to make
evolve.
(Never sure where it gonna to break)
FastFind is a great way to make such stuff consistent with minimum work
and minimum risk. Many guys in the trenches may like it.

Since the backend is written in PHP/or whatever scripting language is
supplying the data, you can set it up to pass/receive whichever parameters
fit your application.
Any tag inside of the ifM_content div is treated as a menu link. If
that
link starts with http or https it treats it as a normal link and opens the
requested page, if the link starts with fetch:// it treats it as a
sub-menu
request.
In the example page, I am passing a javascript object in that link:
ie:
fetch://{'current':2,'previous':1,'apiKey':'valuehere','client':'activeSpotLight'}
The parameters in the example are:
- Current -> The requested tile
- Previous -> The tile the request was made from
- apiKey & client -> Used to control and limit client access
Those paramters are then appended to the url paramter that is setup when
the
plugin is declared. (The params field defines the params for the first
tile)
ie:
jQuery('div#menu').fastFind(
{
url: 'parser_script.php',
params: {
'current':1,'previous':false,'apiKey':'bd51b0648d268122996b9e68cfd86175' }
});
If you look at the parser script (on the plugin page I sent), you'll see
that it simply returns a block of xhtml markup which is put into the next
tile and scrolled into view. When you click "Back" or "Home" it simply
deletes all tiles to the right of the displayed tile.
Note: There are some versions of jQuery that apparently have a bug with
the
ajaxstart/ajaxstop methods that will keep the spinning icon from
diisplaying, if this happens to you simply update to the latest version.
