AJAX is easy. ;-)
Particularly if you use prototype (www.prototypejs.org). I don't think 
I've needed to use an iframe in my life. :-)

See, for example (absolute bare-bones example, you have to enter one of 
the three specified destinations and "010708" for the date):

The javascript queries the server with what the user entered in the 2 text 
fields, the server sends a load of text back and loads it into a specified 
<div>.
