XmlHttpRequest now a W3C standard

Contrary to what I said in my previous post, XmlHttp is now a W3C standard (draft):
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/

(found via Christian Wenz, who is the author of an excellent book on Atlas)

On a side note, it's also natively implemented in IE7 which means no more ActiveX.

It hasn't been ratified yet so it's not a standard.

Robert: that's why I mentioned that it's a draft.

Does XmlHttpRequest object works in latest IE7 CTP drop?
Previous versions throw "not implemented" exception.

Thanks for info.

Yes it does!
But no longer as ActiveX control but as native XmlHttpRequest.

That's why  Ihave been using XMLHTTP since it was made available.  It works, it's straght out useable and it looked like a good bet for a standard.

MSXML objects are very user friendly unlike th eearly days of "ADO".
