The biggest reason is concurrency, but with JS remoting you can also leverage a lot of libraries to make your job easier. Like transparent SOAP packaging for hitting web services, for example.
In a client-side UI, your interface almost has to be event driven, or it'll be really cumbersome. That necessitates good concurency in your controller, which means that you need to be able to do multiple (unrelated) things at a time. Synchronous requests are also a very beneficial thing to have for certain actions where you want the user to have to wait to do the next thing, and are impossible with IFRAMEs. cheers, barneyb On 10/27/05, John Dowdell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rick Faircloth wrote: > > I've used them a little, but not a lot, so I'd like some feedback on > > what the drawbacks are to building apps using inline frames... > > In all the AJaX discussion I've seen a lot of "i did that years ago with > frames", but I don't recall anyone coming back with reasons how the MS > XmlHttpRequest is better. > > Refresh the hidden frame, then use JavaScript to pass the data to the > main display... seems to work just as well, from what I've seen, and > browser support is a little better (older Moz, etc). > > There are examples online, but I haven't tested which search terms give > the most useful hits. > > jd > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
