@Jack - I'm tinkering with the idea of converting the XML either on the server-side, or as a one hit on the client side - to a JSON object.
That way there's no more XML queries to run, each time you search. Once that's in place, it'll be easier (on your browser) to run the '*' query (though I think it should be an option otherwise it returns all kinds of methods). I'm also looking at abstracting out the HTML from the JS so that it can be plugged in to an AIR app, or dashboard, or what-have-you. Finally, I'm also discussing/working with Jörn to get jquery.com/api app updated. Cheers, Remy.
