Going through some old emails (still :) and saw this one. Definitely a
great addition for the docs. Has it been added anywhere yet? If not I
could add this. The server side needs more explanation I think. And a
fully working example would better illustrate this powerful technique.
I'm not sure exactly how to use this in a real app. But if you could give
some examples? I was thinking of an example holding session data from a
cookie, but I keep stumbling across security problems and keep shooting my
ideas down and confusing myself before a solid concept formulates in my
mind. ;-)
Anyways, come up with a few examples, and a brief explanation of how they
would function, and I can code stuff for an example page and documentation.
I'm not too good with the JavaScript side, but if it comes to PHP then I can
play with the data and put it into a simple MySQL example too.
