This is a brief revision to my previous snippet. It is still what it was: a small, simple system for using XMLHttpRequest without using globals.

I'll put the API spec in the code this time, so as not to clutter the front page further.

Changes:

Changed name to HTTPRequest (far more accurate)
Added HEAD requests
Shortened code by making a GenericRequest function
Used a better method for getting an XMLHttpRequest object (checks multiple MS versions and implements the latest one)

I use something similar to this in an application named Shock 3. It provides you with your own Custom settings that can handle your own Custom types as well.

This is a very convenient way to remove all doubles from a List in Java. The only prerequisite is that the elements in the list have proper equals and hashCode methods.

It work by using the constructor of a Set that takes a Collection as an argument.

I poured the snippet in a little program so can run it straight away.

A GroovyClassLoader demonstration. The given domain is a german water flow meter system; I think, you shouldn't be able to understand the domain, but you should be able to understand, how to load a Groovy class in Java via a GroovyClassLoader.

libNog is a 9k library to provide somewhat easier browser-independence. It is not yet complete, and will be continuously revised. It grew from this snippet, and is still growing as I find things I use often.
Presently, libNog features:

A way to browser-independently get an XMLHttpRequest object.
A set of simple methods for GET, POST, HEAD, and to include other Scripts.
Simple methods for className control
A completely abstracted form of getElement*
Browser-independent methods for attaching and detaching event handlers
An event-normalization routine
A simple one-command 'Stop the Event' routine
And the big one: A simplified Class object by which classes can be built in JavaScript.

The above link will point you to the API documentation and history of libNog, as well as where to download the library.
