Re: TRINIDAD : PPR functionality broken on PDA

[Adam Winer <aw...@gmail.com>]

The PPR code has been completely overhauled from
an IFRAME-based system to an XMLHttp-based system.

The prior PDA code was a pseudo XMLHttp fork, and
is very intentionally gone, since now everything is
XMLHttp.  It'd be great to have code contributions
to get PDA functional again, but not by just re-adding
the old code.
