Ahh - excellent.
So instead of processing the return xml file, building javascript objects and coding a result you just call the eval(xmlhttpobject.responseText() );
and have the server send back
<response>
addopt2('aaron','held');
</response>
I like it!
Yeah, it's a pretty useful concept. You can do a simple form of RPC where strings, ints, tuples, lists, dictionaries get turned into equivalent javascript objects. Eg
def foo(bar): return ['hello', 1, 2]
gets turned into
'_o = new Object(); _o[1] = 'hello'; _o[2] = 1; _o[3] = 2; _o'
This is basically what Microsoft Remote Scripting does, but without the java proxy. It's trivial to reimplement as a webware servlet.
