Started playing with it about two months and have now integrated it
into my project. Makes things a lot easier and much more dynamic. No
more round trips to the server just to mark an action as completed or
other simple things that normally required a refresh. You can do
dynamic lookups based on what's entered in a field, without having to
download all the information in javascript variables. A big bonus is
that communication with the server can be done asynchronously, so the
user still has complete control while you're doing lookups or whatever.
I found it extremely simple to implement, although I'm returning text
strings at the moment instead of XML. Not completely up to speed on
parsing XML in javascript.
You just pass a URL to the server, which would be a PHP file along
with parameters. The only thing PHP is doing is 'echo'ing some data
back to the client. A javascript function can then do something with
that data. So you do need to have some javascript skills.
The xmlHttpPost function I use I found on O'Reilly:
