Hi, A cool javascript programming techniques is used in GoogleTalk and Google Spreadsheet. They leave opened an XmlHttpRequest to send and receive data. That's why they are so reactive. It works because there's no navigation (request) only ajax.
My questions are: 1. Does prototype allow that kind of long ajax request ? 2. Is it possible to store Javascript Object in the scope of the navigator ? -> Firefox allow storing vars in object "Navigator". But not IE. The vars are available during single tab navigation. But I don't know if XmlHttpRequest stay opened ?
