[FX.php List] Dealing with a found set

[Dale Bengston]

I'm not a big fan of the split-screen list and details myself, but  
it's certainly another way to derive details from a list without  
losing the context of the list. I would use AJAX to page through  
details as well as re-sort the list view and all that stuff. I love  
AJAX.
