XForms and Ajax

Hello,

Dear all,

If you are following the various discussions on Ajax (can you avoid  
them!) then you might be interested in a blog I've written on why  
XForms is better:

   Ajax, Hard Facts, Brass Tacks ... and Bad Slacks

   "[A]s many have said ... XMLHttpRequest is not a newly devised  
technique, but rather a generally accepted replacement for a very old  
technique. But ultimately that technique is a workaround since the  
real problem is ... HTML forms."

tacks-and-bad.html

  A follow-up blog will show how to do Google Suggest with XForms.

Regards,
