(best viewed through FF)

Type in the search box and you’ll see an “animation” in the background.

How do you make this happen? I jsut want to make it work on a single page before I proceed further.

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Cheers,

*I have a specific animated gif if there’s someone out there gracious enough to help me make this happen.

That’s ajax iirc, it’s built into themes and sites so that they do live searches without the need for refreshing. The animation is built into the ajax code

eg: http://www.blogthe.net/ type in the search bar, wait two seconds, it comes up on the right loading and loads wihtout ever needing to refresh

I’d love to help, but i’m an absolute newbie to ajax and javascript. i’d recommend using prebuilt ajax search templates as a start and adapting them to your needs, i learned half of all the php i know like that.
