So How Do You Code an AJAX Web Page?

PetManimal writes "Computerworld has a long excerpt from a book by Edmond Woychowsky about how to code Web pages in AJAX. It gives a good explanation of how the technology works, and also has some visuals and code snippets that you can play with. From the article: 'Beyond the XMLHTTP Request object, which has been around for several years as a solution looking for a problem, there is nothing weird needed. Basically, it is how the individual pieces are put together. When they're put together in one way, it is nothing more than a pile of parts; however, when put together in another way, the monster essentially rises from its slab.'"

    Potential errors = errors that could/would have happened but didn't.


    Apparently you missed the sarcasm. I should have used [tags]. My point was that if the error didn't happen (remained potential) you didn't make it. Otherwise they would be actual errors or real errors. In other words, "make a potential error" is an oxymoron.

    I thought I was being +1 funny. I'll probablly get modded -1 flaimbait. :-(
