Hi Mike,

A few years ago I was using Brent Ashley's remote scriping routines 
(http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/)
to dynamically populate HTML on a page (see www.yentaville.com). I'd pass a 
command, a DIV ID, and
a few other parameters and the server-end would spit back the HTML to shove 
into the DIV. I'd use
it in a lot of my back-ends to give detailed views when clicking on links 
without going to a new
page. It works with message-board type applications quite well.

Consuming XML on the client-side seemed like the next logical step, although I 
still find building
the HTML output on the server much easier. I don't really have an application 
for using AJAX right
now, but I thought I might as well pick up on the standards as they emerge.

- James.
