You could try this tutorial - <a href="http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/load-content-while-scrolling-with-jquery/">http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/load-content-while-scrolling-with-jquery/</a> - it implements infinite scrolling with jquery. It's ASP, but shouldn't be too difficult to get something like this working in Drupal. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know whether it's doable. <br>

I haven't seen anything done like this in Drupal (not saying something doesn't exist that I just missed), but a good example would actually be Google Reader. It loads content as you scroll the window down through AJAX. I have actually thought about using this on sites that get a bunch of comments. Load say 50 at a time, then have the next 50 auto-load as the user gets closer to the bottom of the page.<br>

I'm building a site to support a very large outline of legal cases. There are thousands of nodes in the outline, each with a very small<br>
amount of text. The outline is about 5 or 6 levels deep. I've written<br>
some code to import the outline into the book module. So the book<br>
hierarchy reflects the outline and the node bodies contain these small<br>
chunks of text.<br>
<br>
I'd like to display the entire outline in a single page. This is not<br>
practical because of the overall size. Still I'd like the user to feel<br>
as if they are scrolling through the entire thing, not visiting<br>
thousands of different pages.<br>
<br>
My idea is to use AJAX to accomplish this. Imagine how google maps<br>
works (start somewhere but scroll to anywhere, use ajax to refresh the<br>
view after the scroll). I'd like the same thing for arbitrary HTML. In<br>
other words the browser starts with mostly placeholder divs and a small<br>
amount of content. As the user scrolls around, the placeholders get<br>
replaced with real content. And the real content which scrolls out of<br>
view gets cleaned up so the browser does not run out of memory.<br>
<br>
Has anyone encountered such a thing? Or would be interested in<br>
collaborating on it? Any reason why it would not work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
