These are excellent additions. I'm going to play around with this some more. Maybe
replace the common send() method with separate post() and get() methods. I believe
get() can be exactly the same as what load() does, for http get you don't have to
submit a form, but for post we definately need the submit that you added. Also
perhaps we should add our own data encoding scheme:
var data = new IOData();
data.add('value1',1);
data.add('array1', (1,2,3));
ioelm.post('url',data,fn);
I don't think the .getResult() method is necessary. I don't like the idea of being
restricted only one variable to recieve data from. Instead of generating a textarea
which contains the information, you can just generate a JavaScript variable and
retrieve it with e.getSource().getScope().variableName - maybe we should add a wrapper
like IOElement.getValue('variableName')?.
We could also distribute some prebuilt server scripts (PHP and ASP) for examples.
Like one for retreiving the contents of a URL (from another server) as a JavaScript
variable. We could also encapsulate an http post/get call into a server script, so
that you can post to another server, and recieve the results from that server as a
JavaScript variable also. This functionality would allow you to avoid the security
violation of obtaining data from a different server through JavaScript.
