I'm doing a review of my in-house framework. As part of that I plan to do a number of posts looking at common functionality required by web applications (lists, views, forms, imports, exports, reports, etc.) and generalized, configurable approaches to solving the problems. In this post I'm looking at how to handle the getting and displaying of a list.

> URL/form variables
One fear that I have is how long html is going to be a viable method of programming. HTML will of course be with us for the next 2 millenia, but with so much press about RIA, should we still be discussing URL and FORM variables?

Sure, because even the RIA methods often include HTTP calls. Right now I am storing the data on my server, not end users clients, so I have to get it to them somehow. That somehow is still usually going to be some kind of HTTP call. I could use a web service with a SOAP packet, but I think the tide is turning towards RESTful interfaces with simple XML (or JSON) packets being returned. As such, form and/or URL variables still absolutely play a part.
