Ajax

[Bastian]

I was wobdering if anyone of y'all new if ajax is going to be included in the js library, or if we needed to include our own, and how much of a hassle that's going to be?

I'm going to make some some sort of platform, where you can fight your friends, trade items and chat with them, and include a feature where friends can explore parts of your world, since I'm planning to make parts of it modular!

This is the kind of logic they're using to send requests

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  try {
      xhr.open('GET', lastScript.src);
      xhr.overrideMimeType('text/javascript');
      xhr.send();
      return true
  } catch (e) {
      return false
  }

So you'll likely need to include an AJAX library...

Ho well, we'll find out, I hope :D

Sorry, I was wrong.
Scripts aren't loaded asynchronously but other resources are.

   WebAudio.prototype._load = function(url) {
    if (WebAudio._context) {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open('GET', url);
        xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
        xhr.onload = function() {
            if (xhr.status < 400) {
                this._onXhrLoad(xhr)
            }
        }.bind(this);
        xhr.onerror = function() {
            this._hasError = true
        }.bind(this);
        xhr.send()
    }
};

So ya, you can do AJAX pretty easily.

If you don't like working with xhr directly you might grab any library that wraps it or something.

Where do you get these resources?

Remember that AJAX calls should not be cross-domain (another address outside your server), for security reasons. Well, at least if you're running on the browser.
