I have been following the dissection of the new Google Suggest
(http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en) service with great
interest.  Particularly the use of the XMLHttp object to transfer data
back and fourth from the server without re-loading the page.
Apparently this feature (originally created by Microsoft) has been
implemented in Mozilla and Safari (with some minor differences) and is
for all intents and purposes "cross platform".  Check out the code
dissection here:

I am curious if anyone has implemented, or considered using this
method to swap map images using the mapserver cgi?
