Spry filtering
Spry filtering: Simon Horwith implements an "Ajax"-style interface for a job listing on a web page. Try it... type in "developer" to filter on titles, or "dc" to filter on location. Although the interaction is similar to that in Google Suggests, the datasource here is a small static XML file, delivered once, rather than an extremely large remote database delivered incrementally via XmlHttpRequest. This week's Spry update adds support for such live filtering in a web page, as well as namespaced attributes (should help with W3C validation) and more. Such new features are easy and straightforward to use... Simon says: "I also think it's worth pointing out that this functionality was only released within the past 24 hours and we didn't download it until about 2 hours ago. The fact that we already implemented it in production speaks well to the fact that Spry is just too easy to learn and use."

I like the XML file idea. Spry sounds, well, spry! :)

P.S.> I got asked "Why the name Spry?" to which I reply, HTML is an old fogey! It's about time [HTML] got up and did something cool. :P

managed to come up with a dirty hack on an autocompletion example using the sample application which comes with SPRY framework.
