What are you allowed to do?

Can you do Iframes and Ajax, unlike proboards?

As far as I know... Javascript only..

best to wait for Ross to confirm this!

Ajax is Javascript so good

Ajax can be used on Proboards, I don't know where you got the impression that you can't.

As for iframes, the reason they aren't allowed on Proboards is because the cookies wouldn't work. However, I'm posting this though an iframe right now, so it works. With regards to if Ross will mind people using iframes, that's something he'll have to answer.

You can't use Ajax on proboards cause you can hack people's forums easily

You can't use AJAX with Proboards; you can however, use AJAX to access a remote server from Proboards.

EDIT: Wait, this is VF...what's with the Proboards talk? o.O

You'll see.

*Shifty eyes*

but but but... I'm 'staff' so I should know!

I'm not staff, but i should also know! For reasons that i'll not disclose as it's mainly based on nosiness

grahm are you "amusedtodeath " ?

and by the sounds of it, when this gets of its feet there will be alot of comparrison between the two.

AJAX isn't too useful unless Firefox and a few other browser modify the Cross Domain polices. Iframes would be okay i guess but not really a big deal, probably useful if you want to IC on every page or something.

Iframes would make some codes a lot easier to make.

like which ones?

Big RPG Codes, Some Admin Editable, Infocenter Everywhere (like said). Can't think of a lot off the top of my head but I have had a lot of people ask me for codes that would be easier with iframes.

hmmm I guess so actually!

No, everyone knows about the chatroom I'm making.

Tell me then... and I'll tell you what I told someone

There are easier ways to access information than iFrames. In fact, iFrames are probably one of the slower ways since you're loading a whole page just to grab one bit of information, and if you're loading a hidden iFrame without Ad-Free then the Google adwords TOS is being broken. That's why I'd rather make the information avaliable to you in a more friendly way. Since I started out as a client side coder I've no problem with writing server-side addons that make things easier for you if you let me know what information you need

So I guess that's Ross' way of saying... no IFrames!

I guess so. What about using Ajax?

I'd still rather just make the information more accessible through the creation of special files (either JS or XML) which you can call. It just makes more sense to me Unless there's a special circumstance where AJAX is the easier/more sensible option.

So Thats a yes..?

That's a no, unless there is a REALLY REALLY good reason for it to be used.
