AJAX talk between client and server

[Firecat1970]

Dear team,

Most examples I see are for partial updating a page, whether it is direct AJAX (e.g. AJAX.net) or indirect AJAX (Atlas, comfortasp, etc).

How about data updating? Is it recommended to send a lot of data from client to server for processing?
I used to do it in classic ASP, having an XML island bind to HTML table, and let users add as many rows to the table as they desire, and they can click on a 'save' button on screen, which will send the XML to server side ASP via xmlhttprequest for updating to database.
Is this a common practise?

Cheers!

I think this is a good idea for higher volume input, but I would think it is not too common because this type of application is not (yet) common on the web.
