Ajax Questions

I am looking through the Ajax plugin, and I have random general questions in regards to it, and possibly, a additional options for it.

• why is it using the 'GET' method only?
• what if I want to pass variables and values (I assume this has to be set in the URL string?)
• is it only limited to the same domain? And/Or is mobile a bit more loose on this?
• JSON? Can I get my data back in JSON format please?

Thanks

You can check this tutorial about AJAX and this related topic.

The limitation to the domain comes from a security limitation from javascript itself.

Anyway, mobile or desktop, as long as you're hosting your application on some domain and making AJAX's request to this domain, it should work.

To get back datas in JSON, you have to set your server-side script to return in JSON.

For the 'GET' question, I agree I'd like 'POST' requests too. They might be added in a future release.
