Tx, for the answers but i am not quit there yet.

I am able to trigger the search_button? I can see the alerts i have
set


$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#content").css("overflow-y", "hidden");
        $("#manageList").click(function() {
                $("#content").css("overflow-y", "scroll");
                $("#content").load("list.php");
        });

         $('body').click(function(event) {
           if ($(event.target).is('#search_button')) {
                        var search_word = $("#searchTerm").val();
                        var dataString = 'search_word='+ search_word;

                        if(search_word=='')
                        {
                                alert("no searchterm");
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                alert("search");
                                ajax_search();
                                /* $.ajax({
                                        type:"GET",
                                        url:"list.php",
                                        data: dataString,
                                        dataType:"json",
                                        success:ok,
                                        error:err
                                });*/
                        }
           }
         });
 });

 function ajax_search() {

                $("#search_results").show();
                  var search_word=$("#searchTerm").val();
                alert("ajax search this "+search_word);
                  $.post("list.php", {
                        searchTerm : search_word,
                        }, function(data){
                   if (data.length>0){
                          $('#content').html(data);
                   }
                  })
 }


I am checking with firebug but list.php doesn't seem to be parsed/
triggered???
Function ajax_search seems to stop after the alert message
