Bitflux Blog
Another great example of using Ajax only as an enhancement is Bitflux Blog (blog.bitflux.ch), which
features a technology called LiveSearch. LiveSearch works in conjunction with the search box on the site.
As you type into the box, a list of possible search results is displayed immediately below (see Figure 1-7).
The search results are retrieved using XMLHttp as an HTML string that is then inserted into the page.
You can search the site the old-fashioned way as well: by filling in the text box and pressing Enter. The
LiveSearch Ajax functionality is just an enhancement to the overall site and isn’t required to search.
