Ajax is also sold in the UK. It would appear that Comet is not.

Re: IFRAME &amp; AJAX ; point me out

Hi,

Well 'to AJAX or not to AJAX' that is the question I was asking my self.
Do I realy need AJAX and when I saw a script developed with javascript
and that the script created an ActiveX object, my heart stopped! After
being defribillated :-) I thought of remote scripting using an IFRAME,
after all I read a lot about how to do this and I tried to give it a shot.

Well success granted and I got my first (not final yet) remote
scripting; the alternative AJAX without using AJAX. Entering a postcode,
onblur the textfield, the server script grabs the data from the database
and pushes it back to the client-script. Wow the client page didn't even
blinc.

Quite nice, need ... cewl... But euhm, now I am biting my lip.

Remote scripting using IFRAME works, is quite nice, but surely there are
lots of disadvantages using the technique. Can somebody point me out the
disadvantages working with the IFRAME methodology? What are the drawbacks?

Thanx in advance.

Danny

In general the IFRAME method is superior, it's general flaws are in
the area of accessibility, hidden frames aren't completely hidden and
can confuse users, and the higher complexity. The advantages of
faster downloads and incremental activity normally outweigh them for
data intensive systems.

If you have to ask yourself that, you typically don't need it.

Remote scripting with IFrames has been around for almost a decade. It's
very reliable.

onblur? Don't use onblur, use onchange.

Stop, biting your lip hurts after a while.

Lack of IFrame support.
Lack of Scripting support.
Maybe lack of cross-frame scripting support.

Of all the options available, IFrame scripting is the most widely
supported/reliable method there is though.

Thanks for not top-posting in the future.

And thanks for using a decent spell checker in the future as well.
