[arrl-odv:12888] Web Enhancement

Hi I wanted to forward everyone on the Board this message from Jon Bloom about some new technology that he has deployed on our web site. I've updated the ARRL Member Search page that appears in the ODV and SM areas of the site. This updated page makes use of "AJAX" technology, a technique used by Google Mail and other interactive Web applications. This is our first foray into the technology, and it will be interesting to see how the users like it. The kind of interactivity AJAX technology brings to the ARRL Member Search page will migrate to the rest of the site over time if it proves reliable and problem-free. The technology in use on the page has some exciting possibilities, of which the use on the ARRL Member Search page only scratches the surface. Probably the most famous AJAX Web application is Google Maps, and while we're not likely to do anything quite like that, clearly the technology has possibilities for new Web interactivity capabilities that would enhance the ARRL site dramatically. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The National Association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 860 594 0220 www.arrl.org/
