I don't think future browsers are going to abanden iframe. One problem
with iframe implementation is that it can screw up the back-button
behavior. And since the browser see the submission as a navigation
event, it generates an audio alert, which can get very annoying.

Another non-AJAX method is to dynamically create a script tag. It's
somewhat limiting since the parameter has to be passed in the URL.
