iPath meets AJAX

After a first test implementation of the "remote presentation" module for iPath, the frustration about differences between browsers, non standard JavaScript features and CSS dialects ... the future of the "remote presentation and chat" module did not look so bright ... but then, AJAX crossed our way.

A first prototype of the new "remote presentation" module is now implemented following the idea of AJAX, acronym for "Asynchronous JavaScript And XML". Seems to work very well. More about AJAX:

• Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications - article by Jesse James Garret
  
• XHTML (ajax) Chat - the example that inspired.

The new module is installed on our test server at http://telemed.ipath.ch/ipathX. A short description of the module can also be found in the user manual.
