The significant thing in Rev is that you can get the thing you want in one line. With other languages you have to dispatch a request for the URL, set up a listener for when it's come back, then handle the contents of the event. Doing it that way does make it more asynchronous, you're not halting everything else for the time it takes to get the text back, but it is several more steps to deal with. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
