This is a simple script to provide basic cross-platform XML request functionality in Javascript. It's meant to be the core component in any AJAX style framework. It is not an instantiable object, but instead is a namespaced microlibrary.

Calling is easy:
XMLRequest.GET(uri, query, callback, fallback)
uri: The location you're after
query: an associative array of form data to provide via the URL
callback: callback function of the form myCallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon successful (response = 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data
fallback: myFallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon failed (response != 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data.

XMLRequest.POST(uri, query, form, callback, fallback)
Similar, but does the query using the POST method. 'query' is the URL-appended data, still in associative array form, and 'form' is the same for the POST data.

RSS Generation Classes

I needed to send an email through an authenticated SMTP server. I found the snippet on the PHP website to do the trick.

Another solution recommends using a text match pattern.
This works, but as long as you've got mail.jar in your classpath anyway, you might as well use this technique instead. (Plus, I think it works with older JDK 1.2+, whereas pattern.compile is 1.4+)

Note that it also accepts a comma-separated list of emails, just like a To: or CC: address line would.

Here's a simple JavaScript solution to hide your e-mail from many spam scripts while still providing clickable hyperlinks to your visitors.

Web crawlers and visitors with JavaScript disabled will see: me [at] mydomain [dot] com. I've seen a lot of people that just leave it at this, but it seems a bit unprofessional in my opinion. With the following code, we can replace that with a fully functional hyperlink.
