[Proto-Scripty] Re: Parse html

It's interesting to read this discussion. Around the same time last
year I found JSON a much better alternative in the client side as
everyone will agree I am sure. I also wrote a custom rendering
prototypeJS class to interpret the JSON data into rich HTML objects
like layers, links, etc. At the server end, I simply use PHP to encode
data into JSON. All this sounds exactly like Karl's implementation,
doesn't it, Karl?

Thanks for the reply Alphonso.  I have almost completely abandoned Xml 
manipulation on the client-side now.  I was only thinking of parsing the 
HTML as a way to reuse an info page that I have created as static HTML. 
Well, I'm back to JSON.  Loving JSON on the client-side, but wish I was more 
proficient in hand coding and code-coding it... but worth it once you are 
down on the client with it!

A book I read once described just what you are looking for.  i use it
regularly load windows from templates.

The book was
Ajax: The definitive guide by Anthony Holdener III

I now have a simple Ajax.Request that fetches json.  I thought a little 
nifty trick is to add mime type .json and serve back application/json. 
 Nice!  So now, if I just want static content for my rich client pages I can 
drop a little json on the server like this: 
 http://beta.meetscoresonline.com/msoinfo.json
