Also if your looking at content replacement as your main use you might want to try a toolkit that is optomized for that. xajax (xajax.sf.net) is one i Just heard about today and it even hides the document.getElementById part, you just specify the id to replace, or append/prepend the html too on the php side.

Just use the innerHTML method. It is a little more verbose since it has to send more data over the line, but a helluva lot cleaner in the implementation.

For some reason, I cringe every time I hear it. Pleeaase someone come up with something better! Thank God I’m not the only one that hates the term AJAX.

The widely known example of word completion is one though. But in the applications I usually create I really only want to simplify handling forms and validation. That is my main objective. Async is, however, not that complicated. So I'll add it later as I can agree that sometimes it is a good solution. There are very few occasions where I find async communication usable.

But I used that kind of technology in a recent project. Despite the bandwith saving and the faster page loading it increased the usibility dramatically. I will definitely use that again. Also, it has been quite benefiting that we first developed the UI the old way (page reloading). Once that worked we enhanced it by using the xmlhttpclient. That makes sure that everyone with JS disabled or without IE and Firefox still can use the application. I never really liked JavaScript and only used it for popup windows.
