I have just finished a new plugin for the jQuery framework.

The jQuery Infinite Scroller is a great way to deliver a really long list of things, in smaller chunks. For example, if you were displaying articles you could load a page with the first 10 results, then dynamically add more results to the bottom of the list when people start scrolling down. The further they scroll, the more articles you add - thus making it theoretically infinite.

When the plugin detects that no more results are available, it stops trying to get more items to add.

You can read a lot more about it and view a demo on my Jquery Infinite Scroller page.
