What do you think of this?

It's a combination of using both ajax and php together.
I'd say overkill for the end result (could be done in plain
Javascript without any "Ajax" calls),
That was my reaction too. I've used iframe/rpc for about three years
- ajax doesn't improve on the basic functionality.

The rotation of a graphic could be done in javascript, that's true.
But, the process demonstrated goes a bit deeper than that.
Hi Tedd,
OK, what exactly have you demonstrated that could not have been done
using javascript/iframe-rpc ?
ajax is nothing but javascript, and in principle it is exactly the same
as using iframe-rpc.
I dunno -- I've never used iframe-rpc and I'm not commenting pro/con about it.
I was just saying that my demo is a combination
of using php and ajax to produce something.
Now, maybe some people want to call it an
overkill and say that *everything* could be done
in javascript alone. That's fine, but they are
missing the point I'm failing to make. My demo is
just another (not unique) way to use both
javascript and php to solve a problem.
For example: If you have a process that is taking
time server-side and want to let the user know in
real time what the progress is, this is one way
to do it. That's not something (by definition)
you can do with javascript alone, right?
There are other applications, but if you fail to
see the basic concept, then you also fail to see
the opportunity.
Cheers,
tedd
