Re: AJAX...

Brad,

One of the reasons I like using AJAX instead of standard scripts is because 
I find it very easy to debug using Firebug in Firefox browser.  It allows to 
see the request sent by the client as well as the response sent by the 
iSeries server and the headers.  Have a look at the following link from 
Sun's Sang Sing AJAX free online course for details.
