page navigation, just using one button (more)

hello,

my users have a different pages on my site where navigation can be nice to look at past records, but not something the average user will use.
that being said, i want to get rid of my standard navigation; first|previous|next|last records 1 to 10 of 25...

and use something where the user can click 'more' after 10 records and the next 10 records show below them (so there are now 20 records on the page. similar sites using this are facebook and twitter, but i can't tell how they are doing it b/c nothing changes in the url.

can i do this strictly using php? if so, does anyone have any recommendations or starting points? if not, what type of language do i need?

thank you!

Not without reloading the page.

AJAX. There's a lot of stuff about it on the internet if you want to search around a bit.
