Yes, the alerts were there just to illustrate that I am trying to push
some JavaScript objects over the wire.  In my project code I also have
additional methods that will be called on these objects (i.e. sorting,
pagination, etc...) that make it faster for the client end if I just
use these objects instead of traversing the HTML; it also makes it
easier for me to implement and is independent of any changes made to
the markup.

If the example I provided is some one-off implementation, then let me
know and I will start looking into some comet alternatives or try to
come up with some "hack".  Is there a way to currently check if the
page is ready for the partialUpdate?  If so, then I can just add some
guard to the cases in my partial function passed to lowPriority.

Thanks,
Bryan
