Thought I would share this with you guys, it brought a smile to my face this morning... So, I work for a quick American company who I won''t name, and for the past few months I have been pushing to use AJAX in some of our Web applications. This looks like its finally happening, and we are using it in an upcoming project. There was a meeting about it yesterday, which unfortunately I couldn''t attend - I was at an excellent workshop<http://www.carsonworkshops.com/design-dev/shea/19JAN2006.html>presented by Dave Shea.>From the meeting minutes:"[the project] uses AJAX Technologies. We need to buy this and get it loaded on the servers" "AJAX software would need installing" :) I should really correct them before they go and order a load of kitchen cleaner! Though a co-worker suggests that I should quickly start a company called AJAX and um... sell them something! _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs

i know it''s funny. but tell them that you can''t buy it, because it''s not a thing at all, it''s a method of using javascript. tell them that they should donate something to scriptaculous instead. i doubt they will.

If anyone has had experience using it and would like to comment then I would much welcome it.
