I would think that would actually be more efficient, despite the use of eval(). It also saves you from having to re-implement more _javascript_ language features, should you choose to expand your dynamic capabilities. Also, (and the likelihood of this may be a little far-fetched), it insulates you against having your client side code misinterpret control character sequences embedded in the text. Thanks for indulging my curiosities. -Nate Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 15:02:57 -0500 From: Kenneth Downs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] So who's using Ajax anway?

Or are you sending back finished HTML? Finished HTML. On the PHP side we send back a big string, composed of object IDs and innerHTML values. Delimiters are pipe and a pipe-star-pipe, like the following: object_1|<span class="notice">Everything worked great!</span> |-| object_2|<table><tr>..... |-| object_3|<select><option>.... The browser side cuts it up and assigns the innerHTML. We can also send alerts back for debugging, like this: echo|This text will appear in an alert and finally if there is no pipe symbol in the return, the js assumes something is very wrong and displays the HTML in an alert. It does the same thing if the named object does not exist. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
