What I had in mind was not low-level programming with Ajax, but the kind of pseudo-programming it allows - the drag and drop kind of stuff that lets you do things <I>without</I> needing to program.Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-1141605379960010582006-03-06T00:36:00.000+00:002006-03-06T00:36:00.000+00:00Nice post.
