Russ... I certainly don't claim to be an expert on AJAX and certainly not web services (since I've never written a true "web service" (SOAP or REST or whatever...).
But the only time I use an iframe for "faux" ajax (generic use of the term, meaning only that data is transferred without the refresh of a page) is when I have to upload a file, since "true" AJAX won't handle a file. I just want to make sure my understanding is correct in that true AJAX doesn't involve an iFrame and the only time one need make use of an iFrame for ajax is when a file has to be transferred. Note, that I said the only time an iFrame is "needed" is for the transfer of a file, not that it can't be used for "faux" ajax all the time. Would this be correct? I just don't want my understanding to be incorrect... Thanks!
