On: Elbowing JavaScript out

[unbroken]

Now that you mention Ajax, I don't see where HN does ajax when voting. The only javascript on the page is for hiding the vote icon after voting.

It's conventional way of doing it, but:

var ping = new Image(); ping.src = node.href;

Technically, it might not be called ajax but the point is the same.
