The AJAX Thing

Is it me, or did Javascript just get exciting again? It seems to be the talk of the internet these days and once again.. it’s cool to be a coder. Great for job interviews I suppose if you can show them your latest dynamic website that doesn’t require a single refresh; from the chatroom to the shoutbox, to general page clicks. But what does this actually mean in today’s world? Do people actually mind page-loading? Will we start getting really security concious about what AJAX is actually doing with our data?
For instance.. this post. I’m writing in it now and have made many errors, and so am backspacing and rewriting.. but AJAX could have already sent my data to the server without me knowing… and there could already be someone on the other end reading my wrong responses. Online surveys… if you decide to amend something before sending it.. AJAX could have already taken the old data, and captured the new one.
Does this really matter though? I can’t personally think of a time when this would trouble someone seriously enough to warrant rethinking AJAX itself. I think the whole hiatus over the GD library in PHP (with the dynamic images showing your IP, host etc) quickly blew over, and I guess this is just an extension of that.
