Hi, I''ve noticed some LOAJAX-style behaviour in the new Google Mail interface. For instance, when you click refresh on your inbox, you get browser feedback even though the actual page does not reload. I don''t know how this works exactly... Google Mail''s javascript is obfuscated quite alot, but if it uses a similar implementation to LOAJAX, I would consider this a pretty good endorsement for this concept. Especially looking at the volume of usage Google Mail has. Does anyone know how this works in Google Mail?

i think you delved to far too fast. looking at the page source shows you that there are iframes so... how about this: the page makes the call for data in the iframe resulting in the browser giving feedback until the iframe is loaded. Once the iframe is loaded the content is parsed and transfered to the proper div(s) just a guess though On Nov 10, 2007 4:59 AM, Kelvin Jones <kelvinj-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi, > > I''ve noticed some LOAJAX-style behaviour in the new Google Mail > interface.

I''m sure there are AJAX requests being made, as these are showing up in Firebug, whereby I don''t think iframe calls do. Also, if you look in the javascript, there does seem to be iframe creation going on, e.g. this line: GHh=''<iframe id="%s" style="display:none"></iframe> Now, this may not work the same way as LOAJAX, but it seems that AJAX requests are being made, and that iframes are being created and there is definitely browser feedback going on. Of course, they could be creating iframes on the fly and doing the "AJAX" request through them, as you suggest. It''s difficult to figure out this code.
