[Helma-user] Ajax

[Maksim Lin for technical support mailling lists]

Hi Kevin,

I have only done little bit of ajax with my helma aps so far, but I
would second Chris's suggestion to use seperate actions of ajax vs
"normal" full page rendering actions as this would also let you keep
your page rendering code separate from the ajax code that would normally
send back JSON or XML rather then full html pages.

Maks.
