That was the conclusion of Guilherme Blanco, author of the pAjax library. He gave a talk in November about AJAX in CONISLI free software event in São Paulo, Brazil. In the talk he presented some benchmarks that demonstrated that XMLHttpRequest based AJAX is slower than for instance IFRAME based interactions. The slides of the talk are available in the ProPHP site. They are in Portuguese, but since you seem to be from Brazil too, I think you will not have a problem to understand. http://www.prophp.com.br/conisli.php Another problem of XMLHttpRequest is that it less compatible between browsers. So, IFRAME seems to be a better choice in most (if not all) cases. Recently I have developed a plug-in for a forms class to interconnect form select inputs that have their options reloaded from the server, for instance from a database, when a connected input changes its value. I have used IFRAME instead of XMLHttpRequest and it works reasonably fast. Here is a demo page: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/view/html/file/9879/name/test_linked_select_page.html The forms class is here: http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
