Many thanks for your response, Bill. Glad to know there would be no problem
with PubNub and that there are people there who would be happy to answer
questions!
Oddly, unlike other TB Javascript plugins Typeahead doesn't expose any

Leaving aside the typeahead issue for now, suppose that, SOMEHOW, the user
gives some input indicating that he wants to see a particular piece of
text. Instead of making the user load a new web page to see it, or doing a
refresh of the current page, I'd like it to show up by populating a
textarea, after the text is retrieved from the server. I know that this is
not normally a problem and is done all the time in AJAXy applications, but
I'm not finding info on how something like that would be done in the
Bootstrap context. I have found info on loading a tab's content dynamically
(http://www.mightywebdeveloper.com/coding/bootstrap-2-tabs-jquery-load-content/)
and loading it into modals
(https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/936), but nothing about just
dynamically loading some content into a field on the current page. While
PubNub will be great for some things, such as broadcasting the same counter
to many pages, it doesn't sound like it's meant for replacing AJAX for
general purpose use.
I'm a bit mystified as to why there's discussion on dynamic loading of data
for tabs and modals but that it's hard to find for updating info on the
current page. Or is the answer that it's just basically no problem at all,
so nobody is writing about it? If that's the case, do you have any general
suggestions of a nice toolset or approach that integrates well with
Bootstrap?
Again, many thanks!
Gary
