I can think of a couple issues with this method that would have to be solved
before it was robust.
1. The server (or the person authoring pages) would have to make sure there
were no text areas within the returned content, otherwise it would break the
textarea that the content was loading into. It is possible that any text
areas could be commented out and then uncommented by the client side script.
2. If there is the possibility of loading more than one document at the same
time then some kind of load handler/queue (ala loadpanel) would need to be
implemented.
LoadPanel is okayish, which reminds me, I have a version of LoadPanel that
works in NS6. It works pretty well, I could put it in CVS unless there are
any objections...
Cheers,
Cameron.
