HTML5 contains cross document messaging, which is a lot messier, but a functional equivalent. Opera already supports it: http://virtuelvis.com/archives/2005/12/cross-document-messaging Dojo implements an intermediate kludge they call IFrame I/O which uses a slew of timers and an ad-hoc ipc protocol by chattering through the url fragment of the iframe, i e an order of magnitude messier still. Details discussed here: http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/WikiHome/DojoDotBook/Book75 and documentation (usage) here: http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/WikiHome/DojoDotBook/Book24 For the data consumer convenience equivalent (of xmlhttprequest, really, i e requiring no client-side cooperating code at the data end-point at all), we'll have to wait for JSONRequest (http://www.json.org/JSONRequest.html), which AFAIK no browser implements yet. -- / Johan Sundström, http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@simile.mit.edu http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
