One of the best things about XMLHttpRequest is that it frees us from having to transmit fully-formed HTML pages on each request, which is great for limited bandwidth. The client asks for just the pieces it needs. On the other hand, the bulk of a page's content is often not markup or textual data, but attached media. You don't need (or want) XMLHttpRequest for that -- you can dynamically add DOM elements (or tweak existing src attributes) as required for just-in-time media delivery. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
