    What parts of it must be like facebook. And being like facebook would most likely be styling. Also, this is Javascript first, then PHP once you have setup a working AJAX system.

    i am talking about the posting section and then deletion of records , searching through text boxes.

    I implemented it in one of my previous applications using XMLHTTP javascript object but didnt really get good application performance , so thinking of something fast and easy to use this time.

    Please give me a reference to at least 1 specific element you'd like to duplicate.

    Well since you've already worked with raw AJAX before (XMLHTTP) you can try JavaScript frameworks which make things like AJAX and other browser functionalities much easier. I highly suggest jQuery. If I remember correctly, Facebook even uses jQuery for a lot of their stuff. :)

    It's got a very small learning curve. I figured out how to use it and saw just how powerful it was in just a day. It works great cross-browser too without you having to write separate raw JS code for something to work properly in multiple browsers.
