Cross-domain Ajax with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing | NCZOnline

http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2010/05/25/cross-domain-ajax-with-cross-origin-resource-sharing
"A couple of years ago, web developers were banging their head against the first wall in Ajax: the same-origin policy. While we marveled at the giant step forward enabled by cross-browser support for the XMLHttpRequest object, we quickly bemoaned the fact that there was no way to make a request to a different domain from JavaScript. Everyone setup proxies on their web sites, which was the onset of a new host of open redirect problems, as a way to get around the restriction. Although developers were working around this limitation using server-side proxies as well as other techniques, the community outcry was around allowing native cross-domain Ajax requests. A lot of people are unaware that almost all browsers (Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+, and Chrome) presently support cross-domain Ajax via a protocol called Cross-Origin Resource Sharing."

Advogato: Blurring of MVC lines: Programming the Web Browser.

http://advogato.org/article/993.html
I think this whole "abstract the browser away behind my favorite language" thing is kind of batshit insane. The problem is, though, I've yet to think out a well-articulated argument against it and the arguments for seem very compelling. Of course, I also happen to *like* JavaScript. "Only by going the whole hog - fully into Javascript, augmented by Compiler Technology such as GWT and Pyjamas (and more specifically Unity) that allows both the Web Server and the Web Client to be programmed in exactly the same language - can the MVC approach be properly implemented and the user's expectations be satisfied, and thus both the developers' and the user's lives made easier. Gmail is the quintessential example of how this "whole-hog-Javascript" MVC approach can be achieved successfully. "

Wow, "X" - what an unsearchably-named framework. "X is a collection of loosely-bound, cross-browser, Javascript functions and objects. It is intended to be a resource from which you pick and choose - you do not have to include the entire library in your application. It contains core DOM/Style functions, unobtrusive enhancements, utility functions, objects such as menus and tab panels, and also has some experimental stuff. I've been developing this library since 2001 (I started its predecessor around 1999). Thanks to thousands of people like yourself X has been extensively tested on a wide range of operating systems and browsers. Thanks to your contributions X continues to improve, grow and evolve."

SitePoint Blogs - Is AJAX Cross-Browser?

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/03/24/is-ajax-cross-browser
"Rather than using cross-browser DHTML like Writely, ajaxWrite uses Extensible User Interface Language (XUL), which means it will only work on Mozilla browsers like Firefox. Alex Russell believes that advertising such an application using the AJAX name is

There is no client-side magic: "Well, the only 'bad' thing is that AJAX Extended does require a server-side script to pack the data into a valid JavaScript document."
