Howto Create an Animated Live Search
Steve Smith have written a nice tutorial on how to create an animated Live Search. In this tutorial he used script.aculo.us to create a nice effect on displaying search result via AJAX. The server side script have been written in PHP for Wordpress, you can see here the working demo of this tutorial
I’ve been meaning for some time to give a little tutorial on the live search I created for this latest design. There are a few steps involved, and I’ll do my best to explain each as we go. I should also note that I’m not including all the effects that you’ll find in my search. They require some special WordPress template changes that you shouln’t have to make. And I need to keep mine unique, right? Also, I’ll be touching on a few steps that are WordPress specific, but the theory can be applied to any site platform.
