I've linked up the search form with the chart plotting tool, so now it's possible to:

• Execute a search and immediately see the results in either a paginated list or the Flot-based chart tool
• Pass the search results between both views (paginated list/chart)
• Refine the results within either view

Contrary to my last blog post, the search data is not passed between the views via AJAX. Although that would be 'sexier', it doesn't lend itself well to storing results for the future. Speaking of which, my next task is to devise some sort of clever method for bookmarking search results, which'll be tricky since search data is stored in the session after the initial search (to avoid POST problems). I think some sort of DB-stored session ID may be the answer.

Note that development thus far has been done on my local machine but will be pushed to the Bailey website soon.
