Not got time to read through all of this right now (I'm stuck at work). This looks invaluable though if you are interested in learning some AJAX tricks.

I keep getting tempted to play with Ajax but really don’t have the time!
All I got to say is JQuery + Ajax rocks.
Only slight problem you got with Ajax is the page tagging approach to analytics for a website does not work very well.
Imagine a single page with all the interaction a user does with that page is done via AJAX, you never actually load another page so the JS (or some other tagging code) gets loaded. You end up with analytics which only shows that page1 is loaded everytime and no data on user navigation etc.
Or an application in mind for that matter!
I’ve played around with it. Actually it’s really easy once you get your head round the aynchronous stuff and have a clean way to make the HTTP requests. That’s where jQuery comes in, it can do all that for you and much-much more.
I have the same problem as you, no time and no ideas. Actually thats a lie, I have so many ideas but neither the time, nor the patience to actually work on any of them at the moment.
On that point, by pure coincidence I read this today:-

Do you think it would help with the issue you raised James?
