On my exhibit, many queries will produce several pages of results.
Ideally, I would like to display all these results on one screen -
much like reader.google.com.

This is called an 'endless scroll', and I have researched a couple
methods to implement using jQuery, but without too much luck.  I'm not
a javascript expert, but these methods seem difficult to implement
because traversing and implementing functions on the html that exhibit
generates has been inconsistent - maybe there is a javascript
conflict, I'm not sure.

I usually try to traverse $('div.exhibit-collectionView-group'), and I
have had some luck with the jquery plugin $('div.exhibit-
collectionView-group').scrollTo(...) - but nothing robust enough to
create the desired effect.  btw, as you can see I an using grouping,
so I don't even currently have the option to use ex:showAll="false".

Anyhow, the Google Reader-like view display would have several
powerful benefits to myself and other Exhibit users / authors, my
thoughts are that it could provide the following interface benefits:
1)  Ability navigate all content within one page
2)  Partial page loads, rendering only first several elements in
browser display initially
3)  Ability to invoke exhibit coders based on scroll position (like
how google reader will mark your article read based on scroll
position)

Is there any way to display an exhibit view in a single-screen, Google
Reader-like endless scroll window?

Thanks,
Jonathan
