Well...I'm a "self-taught", "learn-it-as-I-go", programmer. So there are a lot of fundamentals that I probably don't know that would be in the programming 101 class.
I was just speaking from the limited experience of changing a "post" which was being used to just "get" some info from a query, to a "get" method to see if the results were the same. They were, so I just commented on the face that the performance of that query with either method was the same. I'll have to study up on "get" vs "post" so I can consider myself at least a well-versed, basic programmer. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MorningZ Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 11:19 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: getJSON callback not firing?
