I thought I'd give ajax (Javascript and XMLHttpRequest) a test. The right hand side bar now loads using XMLHttpRequest. It is still a bit buggy and doesn't really serve any useful purpose but I wanted to learn how it works.
You can look at my javascript code here.
A useful howto on AJAX can be found here
Thanks Dale, that is a really helpful and concise explanation and description of the way AJAX works, I hadnt fully understood it before but that has cleared up alot of things
Are you joking, I didn't explain anything ;)
Although I can if you need me to.
here is a small ajax test loading each news item.
Please note it is just an example, far from a working solution.
I was refering to the link that you gave rather than what you had actually said ;)
