RE: [Flashcoders] Fjax... does this seem ridiculous to anyone els e?
Dave has it right - the only issue on browser dependency I've found was with sending hefty packets via the xmlhttprequest... beyond the browser actually supporting the call in the first place. The biggest hurdle I found was the space character being presented as a "+" character when using Safari. Another bit - for debugging xmlhttprequest I found the "firebug" extension for firefox to be very powerful. -- Jim Palmer ! Mammoth Web Operations > Yeah, pretty much.

> Lol. So the whole thing about their code eliminating the > differences between browsers is huey huh?! Yeah, pretty much. There's very little about using XmlHTTPRequest that's browser-dependent. If you're doing anything significant with the data you return via AJAX, that's where you're more likely to run into browser dependency issues, and this won't help with that. Of course, one of the reasons for AJAX's current popularity is that browsers are much more compatible than they used to be. We've been writing apps that use the same sort of functionality for many years, but it's only recently that you can do it without a lot of code explicitly to deal with browser differences.

AJAX programming is not hard at all, as long as you know JavaScript and a server-side programming language. There's no need to have your server-side programming language return XML, either, so this is a solution in search of a problem. Lol. So the whole thing about their code eliminating the differences between browsers is huey huh?! Thats funny. Well *they* seem to think they have done something really good. At least they are amusing themselves. Of course I would love to hear their defense.

AJAX is just a buzzword anyway.
