I noticed this new ajax loading script. http://aka-fotos.de/protoload/
It's based on Prototype, but if you look just at the relevant script: http://aka-fotos.de/protoload/js/protoload.js It's extremely small, but has a pretty nice feature set. (covering individual items) We have a few plugins that are similar to this, but maybe this is inspirational to add a little something. Glen
