Well, I think there might be some workarounds like calling console-version of php script from AS code, or talking with external server or something like that. But if you want a downloadable, platform-independent application, which doesn't depend on network connection, I think it is not possible. Raul,

Spry is only good for data presentation. You can hide data from display but it's impractical to filter even tho they suggested so. Initially I saw the functions and thought I could pull it off since I'm not doing very complex queries. It got way too complex because Spry like any other Ajax loads data asynchronously. So I had to set up observers and tried to use the setattribute stuffs to update the dataset that goes into the spry region. Anyways, it's a mess. I'll redo in PHP/MySql and maybe try to use your method to use Spry to present data. Thanks for your thoughts. hey mike

Basically, Spry, if used without PHP (for example) scripts to populate data, can only serve static content (you can filter the output though, and I believe I've seen examples of keyword search with Spry somewhere on the net). Myself, I do think that PHP/MySQL solution could be actually more robust in your case, and easier on your clients' dialups (no need to load huge javascript library files, no need to lead the XML file all at once, when they might only need a little part of it). But of course, Spry has its uses, it's just they are mostly data-presentation related, and not database-management related, IMO. desperado,

I'm a noob to both. My site is basically a simple apartment rental listing site with records could be as many as 1000 but with no more than 10 short properties on each record. I don't care much about someone downloading the data or the search engines not seeing my "results" pages. I have successfully got it working with Spry. I wrote some basic javascript with if statements to filter out some rows from being displayed. But I still don't know if there are built-in ways to do things like keyword search or adding entry with Spry. But now I am seriously considering if PHP/MySQL would've been a better and reliable choice. Not that I'm an expert but doing queries seem somewhat easier this way. Also, my audience is mostly using dial up connections (max 40Kbps) and I am wondering how these two methods send data. Although AJAX is asynchronous, Spry is client side so it will still send the entire XML data file on page load or when accessed? But maybe I can keep it in the cache during the session for later? And PHP/MySQL will send only the queried results? But that means it sends different data for each search? Also, SPRY has nearly 200KB for its script files. So will that slow down the page loading because those scripts will be needed to show the contents on the page? I'm sorry I used some laymen terms. Thanks in advanced.
