FYI: I am an experienced web programmer (server-side mostly) with some exposure to javascript and have used ajax calls and dhtml methods a little. Furthermore - I do not _yet_ use jquery. This question is to - some extent - being asked of behalf of a web designer who himself is not on this ML.
The designer wants his design to accomodate ajax calls which would retrieve data via my server-side tools and write the data to his pages. The web designer is accustomed to working with tables. It has been our understanding that ajax and dhtml don't play well with tables, thus he has gone to considerable effort and much frustration in creating a couple of test pages using div tags only - no tables, but remarks that this has been very "labor intensive". So his (and my question) is: Is it possible and practical to use jquery ajax calls to write to tables? What idioms might be necessary? Since this is a general question, links to discussions or documents are welcome and may be sufficient. Furthermore, caveats and warning are welcomed also. thanks tim
