Hi,
i have just been playing with the recipe:

And it works really nicely...
I would need something like this to load rather large chunks of
xhtml, that are only made visible when a user asks for them, thus for
many page loads they will never be seen. I can see how to send
generic python objects... however, to send such data and then
"render" this data using js on the client will be rather painful.
Besides, the rendering code is already done, in python on the server.
Does anyone know if it is possible to either send an xhtml dom
object, to be spliced into the page?
You can just send the HTML and innerHTML will do what you want, like:
containerElement.innerHTML = remoteResponse;
Thanks, Ian, for the reply...
I was under the impression that innerHTML was non-standard? IE only...
If this is guaranteed to work on the newer generation of browsers, then
it would be a nice acceptable shortcut for the cases I describe above,
i.e. when the required html rendering is non-trivial.
How you get remoteResponse depends on the transport (e.g., if JSON
then you get some object back). You could also write the Javascript
on the server, and just eval() whatever the server responds with.
Thanks for the mention of JSON... http://json-rpc.org/
Was not aware of it. Do you suggest this over xml-rpc?
