I don't use them in my 'every day' applications, but I have used them in the
past to simulate the 'instant feedback' that non web based applications
enjoy. In one application we had a large form that was split up over
several tabbed layers. Whenever someone moved to a new tab, the database
was immediately, and transparently updated ... much like Access does when
you switch to the next record in the database. It was cumbersome to
program, but it was pretty slick once we got it 1/2 way working.
I've also used them for server side form validation to simulate javascript
error checking.
