Re: AJAX...

Some frameworks go so far as allowing their GUI wigets (form components, data 
grids, etc.) to be "bound" to XML data sources by setting a data source 
property, so that mapping between the two is automatic and transparent.  The 
server is still responsible for generating the XML, but the programmer doesn't 
have to write any code to map from the XML data source to page elements.

Nope never.
I insert <div> or <span> tags and just set the innerHTML of the tag to the new
data--the HTML is created in FrontPage or whatever using WYSIWYG editing, which
is always easier than trying to compose HTML in RPG IV.
