Re: Ajax via RSP/CGIDEV2

[web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'd start by sniffing the connection to see what (if anything) the browser
is receiving from the HTTP server.

If you're receiving valid data, you know that the problem is on the 
browserside (likely the JavaScript code) and if you're not, you know 
that the problem is on the server (CGI) side.

Personally, I prefer to test the server side independently, make sure it 
works exactly as you expect, then write the AJAX code to use it.  It just 
makes it easier to track down problems.
