I've published sample code that uses Python
on the server side to implement AJAX
type ahead completion for web forms. Please see
documentation with links to examples and downloads at
http://xsdb.sourceforge.net/xFeed.html
"Type ahead completion" is a form of AJAX
(asyncronous javascript with XML) functionality
where the page attempts to suggest completions
for partial form values by consulting a
web server component in the background. Google Suggest
is a famous example. For examples using
my python code please see
http://www.xfeedme.com/zip/zipcompletions_async.html or
http://www.xfeedme.com/xsdbXML/xFeed/BookMatch.html.
These pages must be viewed with a recent browser such
as FireFox 1.5, Safari 2.0, or IE 6.0.
The AJAX server component is configured for use
either as a Python CGI script or as a Apache server mod-python
module.
I hope you enjoy it and use it well :).
Please let me know if you have problems with it
or other comments.
Thanks! -- Aaron Watters
