This kind of thing is what Web 2.0 is all about. Imagine you are on your
"found set" page and click "add-to-cart". This "refreshes" *just* the <div>
with the cart items and leaves you right where you are.

If you can get the JavaScript that works well x-browser with
"XMLHttpRequest" and "innerHTML", you have it!

The "request" is much like you have now, only Javascript passes the url and
does some magic replacing the current contents of <div id="cart"> with all
the items, by changing the "innerHTML" of the div.

You can pass off the query to Witango, instead of it being "processed" by
Javascript alone.
