Hello,
Do any developers have firsthand experience of the TIBET Framework
(www.technicalpursuit.com) they might care to share?
Your thoughts / impressions are welcome.
No firsthand experience from using it, but from reading the site, it has
some inaccuracies.

Things I'd want from an AJAX toolkit include: browser independence

We started building toward that goal 6 years ago and we're proud to say
we met every one of those requirements.

That implies, to me, that it has browser independence when it doesn't.
At the present time, it is impossible to create an application that is
HTTPRequest dependent that is "browser independent". Unless there is a
browser that has been released in the last 2 months or so, there is no
browser on a MAC that supports this so-called "AJAX".
AJAX is nothing more than a buzz-word that some programmer came up with
to make his credentials seem a little more "professional". Since then,
every boardroom knee jerk pencil pusher wants a technology that has been
used for a very long time in its dynamic loading of data without
changing the top URI in the page.
I even have a way of dynamically loading data that has more support for
it, even in Netscape 4, than this "AJAX" does.
