w3c taming the xmlhttprequest animal

missed this last week - you may have noticed i haven't posted for a while as i've been soooo busy - but the standardisation of ajax seems to be on it's way.

the w3c kids published their first working draft on, my friend and yours, the xmlhttprequest object on wednesday. they're aiming to provide more interoperability between the various implementations of the object, so i guess no more new ActiveXObject / new XMLHttpRequest browser sniffing type code.

no doubt this will take a long, long time, but it's nice to know that they're making a start.

you can read the whole w3c working draft if you want to.
