I think you have two names mixed up: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1600419/xmlhttprequest-vs-activexobjectmicrosoft-xmlhttp-whats-the-point https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1600419/xmlhttprequest-v...
This stuck out because I remember jQuery's ajax being a wrapper around XMLHttpRequest (and maybe still is?).
- Ygg2 2y agoI don't see how that affects my argument. The point is, Active X had an XML HTTP Request way before it was standardized. Same with iframe, and other features. Microsoft is known for treating developers pretty good. Much unlike Apple.
- Izkata 2y agoIt wasn't supposed to be a rebuttal, I could just see the statement being really confusing for anyone not around back then who didn't realize terms had been mixed up.
