javascript in that page and to then get a response back?

But tnder controlled conditions you could 'eval' the javascript code

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

I would presume "that page" means the HTML document requested, not the HTML

'eval' the returned code, or a part of it. That is the only client-

Microsoft Expression Web attempted to overcome the weaknesses of
Frontpage, and is (IMHO) reasonably succesful in that.
