No More Teasers!

Submission of a form on this page has been disabled as you do not have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

I just read We don't need no Pagination, which describes a technique to replace the read more of a page with an automatic page loader for the next section. I think this could easily be done in Drupal, maybe as a plug-in for Views and teasers.

As a start, I could easily envision teasers automatically loading the rest of the content on mouse hover. Or a page view loading the next batch of results when scrolled to the bottom. Probably other uses as well, although they might be more theme/site specific.

Is there already something that does this? If not, I'll probably start a new project for it. Maybe something like Automatic Page Loader or something...

there are some JS autopagers at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7623 and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8551 that you might want to look at

Yahoo! TV

Yahoo! TV used to do this, but the request time was so long and didn't make for a good user experience. I don't believe we'll have the same issues with Drupal because of the brilliant programmers involved.

Something to get you

Something to get you started:
A jquery implementation of infinite scrolling

Perfect!

Thanks for the jump start! I'm sketching out a planned workflow, and will investigate what's already available for Drupal.
