Well. I'll give you that. ;^) Perhaps I should have said there was no standard way to do it. > >You can compare the libraries currently available with those given out at > >the first Allaire User conference in 1998 - there are very, very few > >changes. > > I just download the last WDDX SDK released and noticed it doesn't contain > the most current wddx.js file.

I'm not sure if anybody actually manages the site at all anymore. But if so it would probably be Nate or Sim. > Like I said, I don't think I've ever used JS to deserialize WDDX.

In AJAX-style applications it's often simpler to just pass XML back and forth (to pass "raw" JS you need to have a container to run that script in - something like a hidden frame or such). Of course not many people are working on "real" AJAX applications - I've only done one and that's actually an HTA application for intranet use.
