Over on the BitFlux Blog today, there's a posting from chregu about his dabbling in the JSpan software (written by Harry Fuecks) and some of his opinions on it's features.

I finally managed to play around with JPSpan written by Harry Fuecks. "JPSpan provides tools to 'hook up' PHP and Javascript, for the purpose of fetching data from PHP into a web page which has already loaded, without reloading the entire page." This basically means you can call "remote" PHP methods from within JavaScripts and takes the LiveSeach idea one step further. It's very easy to use and you get for example the result of a DB query from within JavaScript with a few lines of code.

[...] But my master plan is, to replace the whole submit/save/reload circle with a more "natural" way. So if you click "submit", the page isn't send, but just the data in the background. The page has not to be reloaded and you just can work further on the same document.'

He continues on, talking more about current interfaces and how JSpan can really help them out as well as how he plans to use it in some of his own projects soon.
