I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.

    I think AJAX is at its best for two main types of tasks ;Fetching data that needs to be regularly refreshed, without the need for manual reloads or meta refreshing and Submitting forms which don’t need to send you to a 2 new URL

  20. Hello! Thanks for a nice site! I ran across the site by luck and think it looks great! How long did it take to create it?

  21. I’m really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystique (sp) about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I absolutely love photography. I’ve got my site up but it’s nothing to boast about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the afternoon posting my best shots. anyway just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use.
