Checking Username Exists without Submitting?

I registered for this service and when I put my username it looked up
the username without submitting and told me it was taken after leaving
the field. Any ideas on how they are doing it

barkster to test

Thanks

They are using AJAX for this, which involves client-side JavaScript
based server calls. If you want more info about this, Google for it.
