OutPost Marketing blah

OutPost hijacks the form post back event and

• tells the server to execute the post back locally on the server,
• an optimized DHTML-response is sent back to the client,
• the page is updated using cross-browser DHTML and
• page reloads and flickers are thereby eliminated.

Bandwidth usage is minimized by

• diff-comparing two consecutive responses,
• keeping state on server,
• keeping js framework light,
• compressing the response,
• sending optimized DHTML and
• not using Xml or JSON.

OutPost 2.0 Released

New version ready to download!

It is much better at dividing the page up and sending only what's changed. One of the reasons for this is that OutPost no longer restricts itself to looking at html tags that has an ID on them. Any element goes! Also a Delete command and a Copy command is introduced.

Hope you like it and have fun with it! Please, write a comment if you use it for something cool!
