Does anyone know of a better way to load data from a remote source?
My God I hate this job I am on. I like coding, but the guy I am working
for is being pressured to pressure me to move faster.
I am doing this thing in about 3 weeks on my own for a thousand bucks,
during my weekends and evenings mostly, capping at 50 hrs of work.
Are his expectations reasonable? Am I just coding slowly?
What do you think? consider... I designed the DB, designed the
interface, wrote all the font end and back end code.
How much would you have asked for?

there were problems with not knowing for sure if the data was being
returned, and I needed the ability to load data from a remote source so:
* I had the data be loaded in a script tag as an array,
* then had the loaded script call a function called load(option),
that is established in a script tag with static source
* based on the parameter passed it performs an function with that
data, and the only thing I need is a timeout timer
does this sound a bit hackish? I have used it, and it is very
reliable, allowing for all sorts of params to be passed through GET
I was also thinking that in the future this could be used to load any
type of data from foriegn sources as all I would need is the innerHTML
of the tag
Are there better ways to do this that are as reliable?
