Very cool search with XMLHttpRequest

From fiftyfoureleven.com, I learned about forgetfoo.com - which is doing some very cool stuff with XMLHttpRequest. Be sure to check out the calendar, comments and naked picture of Britney Spears.

While we're on the topic of cool stuff, I also learned about this cross-browser Nifty Corners component. Should we call a set of CSS+JavaScript files a component I think so, what else would you call it?

The term components is already too overloaded. To me "a set of CSS+JavaScript files" would be a resource bundle that can be made available to an HTML document.

Speaking of component, do you think you'll upgrade Struts Menu with MenuExpandable version 3 (http://www.gazingus.org/html/menuExpandable3.html)? Ya, I like that Nifty Corners, I think I'd use it on my project. How about implementing it on Struts Menu's Tabbed component?

Vui - I agree that Struts Menu should be upgraded and Nifty Corners would be cool to add to Struts Tabbed Menu. If you add an enhancement request to Struts Menu, I'll try to add it in the next release.

I think it should be called a component. It's very close to what Tapestry calls a component. But what we really need is a standard way to "import" or "require" other component, or libraries. Presently, most DHTML components define addEvent and removeEvent, for instance. Shouldn't we factor it out, and just "include events.js" in our components?
