Ajax for Mobiles: Opera Platform SDK
This is a neat idea. Opera have released the Opera Platform SDK for mobile phones. From the web page it appears to be a framework written in Javascript that runs on the Opera browser on the phone. Installed locally on the phone are webservices for access phone functions (contacts, etc). You write your applications in Javascript, using Ajax type techniques to talk to webservices on the phone or via a data connection. Link and more details from Ajaxian.

Hi Chris,
A nice article! I’ve got a few small remarks:
With regard to the fourth paragraph: the default type of an <input> element is text (in all browsers). That also means that the example in the "absence of b:target" part won’t do anything, not even a regular submit. Had it been a <button>, it would have (except in IE :)).
And in the s:execute example, it is better to use the s:execute tag as the root tag. The fact aside that it is functionally slightly different, it also avoids an empty div being rendered at the form’s destination.
Finally, maybe ancestor::form[1] would be a nice target expression to mention, because it takes the parent form no matter how many elements are inbetween (in contrast to ../../form).
Anyways, it’s a nice post! Cool :).
