Cold Constructs

I’m not sure who came up with the idea first, but the crazy kids at Humanized gave me the inspiration to try this out for myself with jQuery. You can read their rationale for it, but the basic concept is that the “Next page” nav links are pretty ridiculous now considering how easy it is to dynamically load new content with ajax.

Now when you scroll down to view more content, it just loads it up automatically, giving the illusion of endless scrolling and a page of seemingly infinite length.

View the example page.

Also. I’ve updated autoScroll, fixing some stuff. You know how I said I’d release early and often? Turns out that doesn’t work well with me. I get lost in the code and after I finish and upload it, I completely forget to do anything else with it, such as adding a DocType to the page. Heh, yeah, not gonna do that anymore.

Quick suggestion: combining endless pages with my autoscroll script would make the page browsing experience completely seamless and effortless. Try it!
