Proof of Concept For Ajax Without JavaScript

Posted by timothy on from the now-make-a-good-acronym-for-comet dept.

JonathansCorner.com writes "Even if Ajax was backronymed to 'Asynchronous JavaScript and XML,' it works with JSON substituted for XML. Here's a proof of concept that JavaScript/VBScript are not strictly necessary either. The technique, besides being used standalone, may be useful to provide a better 'graceful degradation' for Ajax applications used by clients with scripting turned off."

    In 1998 I did this while working for Davinci tech in Toronto working on Coke Canada Intranet accounting site (remember, the Intranet was the buzzword of the time?) IFrames + javascript refreshing them and populating parent windows / frames.

    There is NOTHING new in programming technology and hasn't been for a longest time. Really, in 16 years I can only truly say that bit-torrent was somehow a unique/new idea, but I think even that wasn't that radical, just the protocol was new.
