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):
http://www.free-map.org.uk/course/ajaxexample.html
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>.
