James, I agree with most everything you stated. I do find the use of AJAX or more correctly the implementation of a non-page reload to be the latest, trendiest thing. Seems all the techs I know are trying to come up with some jewel of an implementation to impress our employer.
The one thing from you comments I didn't agree with was the following statement: "One of the things I like about PHP is that it can bring advanced content to the simplest browsers, including text-only, cel phones, and browsers for the disabled. Many of these can't deal with any type of JS, let alone the specialty items like XmlHttpRequest." How is the directly a function of PHP? I mean you can send text via any language ASP, Perl/CGI, JSP, etc. P- ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> AIDS in India: A "lurking bomb."
