I lied in my last post, I'm still adding new features. I just added a drop down box in the DJ detail page under the points tab that lets the user select which semester they want to see the points for. It will default to the current semester and only allows one semester at a time. I did not make this work via AJAX because I didn't think it was really necessary. I am going to extend this same functionality to the points list, but I may make that allow for multiple semesters to be added together in a single search.

I also started working on a search save/bookmarking system. It will start out for just music searches, but will also be added to the DJ search after I revamp that whole system. This will allow DJs to save a set of search criteria that they can then load up in a single click. I'm actually not entirely sure how I'm going to do this now. The easy way would be to just save the URL to the search with the criteria saved in the URL, but that would make the page refresh and negate the AJAX. The best way would be to save all of the criteria and then iterate through it to fill our the form. This will take longer, but I think it's the better way to do it.
