@Sharif: If the CDC web service allows you to search by zip code, then the solution I would use is to retrieve a list of the data into an array and then display the data in a table view. This assumes that the typical number of search results is below a hundred, or at most a few hundred. Otherwise you may have some memory issues.
If the web service does not provide search by zip code, then you have a problem. You would have to download the data locally on the device and then write your own geospatial search since SQLite does not have any geo functions built in.

by the way I figured out how to load the HTML into a string, and search the string for my Search module, thanks.

@Nick: I have been awarded permission to use the CDC’s Database that has over 19,000 HIV testing sites and AIDS organizations in the US. I plan to use this database in my app to allow users the ability to search by zip code for the nearest location. I want to incorporate some of the technology that you explained in your presentation however I need a boost…. On the CDC’s end it will be linked to their web services. So how do I retrieve those results when a users puts in a zip code and deliver it back in a nice results table. In summary, what is the best approach to handle this process.

thank you for this. The variable size row idea is really useful. It just made my life _much_ easier in a contracting project and gives a really nice result.
