I was recently playing with some XMLHTTPRequest stuff, and came up with a quick tool for stuff I do on my page all the time – posting the last modified date/time.

Rather than hard-coding that into the page, I use an XMLHTTPRequest object to query the server for the LastModified field on the servers filesystem.

I’ve posted it here. You can just plug and play the code.

Apparently some more investigating is necessary. I have heard about the iframe technique though. I was basing my explanation on the use of Ajax from this article.

This explination of how Google Maps works says they don't use XMLHttp.
