I was sucked in to a project developing a contractor management system...
there were problems with not knowing for sure if the data was being
returned, and I needed the ability to load data from a remote source so:
* I had the data be loaded in a script tag as an array,
* then had the loaded script call a function called load(option),
that is established in a script tag with static source
* based on the parameter passed it performs an function with that
data, and the only thing I need is a timeout timer
does this sound a bit hackish? I have used it, and it is very reliable,
allowing for all sorts of params to be passed through GET
I was also thinking that in the future this could be used to load any
type of data from foriegn sources as all I would need is the innerHTML
of the tag
Are there better ways to do this that are as reliable?
