Heh. I don't use AJAX anymore. 1) XML is so bloated and slow compared to JSON. Just because Java likes it doesn't mean other languages do. 2) The whole Asynchronous XMLHttpRequest thing breaks the web paradigm and accessibility in interesting ways. I'll take form submission to a hidden iframe any day. Maybe it's time to stand up for DHTML again. AJAX is like Flash, it's pretty but it breaks shit. DHTML still works the way it always has, we just happen to understand it better now. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ 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
