On Facebook when you, for instance, scroll down your Wall, you hit “the bottom” where you can press the Older Posts button and a couple dozen more posts appear. Can anyone give me an idea on how i can replicate that on my webpage?
I am new to webprogramming and i’m not sure how this works, i don’t even know how and what to search on the web to be honest, no clue where to start looking.
So any suggestions, links are appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
A quick search returned this tutorial:

From the page itself:
The server needs to be running PHP5 so that we can use PHP5′s JSON functions.
We’ll be pulling database records from a WordPress “posts” MySQL table. What’s great about the code provided is that you may use it with any database system; all you’ll need to do is modify the MySQL query and the JSON properties used by jQuery or MooTools.
The client must support javascript.
We’re using MooTools 1.2.3 Core and More 1.2.3.1. If jQuery is the preferred framework, jQuery 1.3.2 and Ariel Flesler’s ScrollTo plugin.
