Previously I posted about sending and recieving data without having to
re-transmit the entire page.
You (Jonathan) offered a php solution that works well, however it does,
naturaly, send back an entire page.
In fact that solution is now running fine on the company's server.
I couldn't help continuing my search for a solution that didn't require
re-transmition of the page itself, and I found one.
My thinking was along the lines of an activex type page, and that is where
'XMLHttpRequest' was originaly implemented apparently.
'XMLHttpRequest' allows for the transmision of data back to the client
without having to send the entire page.
So far my limited testing has shown it to be very quick, and it seems to be
quite widely supported too.
I thought you may find it interesting, and perhaps usefull.
Thank you again Jonathan,
Regards,
Vince
