RE: [XML Magazine] A Chat with Jeremie MillerMy hard earned experience with
javascript is to avoid it whenever possible. That has always served me
well. There are too many inconsistencies across browser makers and
versions. You end up with write once, debug every OS, every browser, every
version.
As for whether browsers are pull model, my impression is that even the
knownow miracle JS library has the browser initiate the connection. Is that
wrong?
