Even though the use of JavaScript might be useful, for example to implement client-side input validation (but of course not for security, but rather to make the user's life easier) or some calendar- like date input or other interactive components, I think AJAX is a more distant option. The reason is that the original motivation for using AJAX in the first place was to achieve the effect of reloading parts of the page instead of full page in order to speed up the interaction - this motivation is not very relevant here, as natively compiled Ada is so fast that the efect of nearly instant content reload can be achieved without complicating the communication scheme with AJAX (that is, if there is any perceivable latency, it does not come from the server-side processing). This is yet another reason to use natively compiled language for web development, it seems. > and my second is to ask if you are a professional programmer or a professional vet, because I need my cat reprogramming to behave itself better. As a professional programmer I can only guess that he got bored with touchpads and misses a mouse. -- Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
