Degradable Ajax
Degradable Ajax: It's taking me awhile to get through this... near as I can make out the author is testing whether the browser has JavaScript enabled in order to determine whether to issue, parse and render an XmlHttpRequest text-refresh. Halfway down in the comments someone asks "Hey, what about JavaScript-enabled browsers which don't have XmlHttpRequest?", and they start to retune it to an actual capabilities-test on that text-refresh function available in some-but-not-all browsers. Feels strange to me that such a long article with so many positive comments would all mistakenly assume that a JavaScript test is an XmlHttpRequest test, but maybe it's me that's missing something there. (Also seems to me the title should be "Biodegradable Ajax", but that would be just too cute. ;-)
