IFrame vs ServerSide Proxy

Hi,
What is the advantage of using ServerSide Proxy over IFrame and vice-versa?
Also, what about in context of ExtJS?

Thanks,

sounds like you are fishing for something - what exactly do you want/expect/hope to hear? ;-)

Cheers.
meverest,
I would like all the possible advantages / disadvantages that experts can think of so I can improve my understanding and knowledge of the same. No, I am are not fishing :-)
The advantages and/or disadvantages depend a lot on what you are trying to acheive.  There is really nothing that I can think of that would make one method or the other /inherently/ good or evil ;-)

There are implications on the way that javascript functionality can interact between elements when an iFrame is present, but that would only matter if you wanted to acheiev a particular outcome that might turn out problematic (i.e. run a javascript function in the iframe that calls on objects in the parent or vice versa)

Apart from that, the comments I made previously cover the conceptual differences - what may be considered an 'advantage' in one particular application mmay well be considered a disadvantage for another application.

Cheers.
