Need inspiration for navigational script

[sleidia]

Hi guys :)

What's the coolest and the most user friendly script you've seen for dynamically navigating through a list of hundreds of words with no sub-categories?

Thanks for the help :)

Thanks but I'd like to do it without Ajax and with Javascript only.

I want the list to be loaded entirely in the page from the beginning and displayed in such a way that the user can find a word within seconds. A nice moving effect would be a plus.

Actually, I'd like something more intuitive than a search box.

So far, the best option I have in mind is a div box with a nice vertical scroll effect : like in some flash menus, the scroll would occur whether you put the pointer on the upper side or the lower side of the box with an acceleration proportional to the distance on the vertical axis. The font size would be bigger at the middle of the box and smaller at the top and bottom of the box.

Note that I'm not asking for code.

It's just ideas or live examples that I need.

Again, the ultimate goal is to make possible the find of one specific word in a vertical list of hundreds of words. The second requirement is that it has to look very cool.

Thanks again :)
