Hi,
Sorry for the simplicity of this question, but I am not sure when I would want to use ajaxRequest vs. just calling .open(). What is the rule of thumb on when you should use ajaxRequest?
Thank you,
David A.

Hello David,
The open() method just displays a hidden/closed window. The ajaxRequest() method fetches data from the server and updates the window content area -- and it doesn't open (show) the window. Therefore, if you want to refresh the data in the window, use ajaxRequest, and if you want just to show a hidden window (without reloading its data), use open.
Kind regards,
