Everyone is hyped on those great panning and dynamic popup effects in Google Maps... In talking with some folks, I have discovered that the principle behind it is AJAX - Asynchronous Javascript and XML, basically client-side calls to a web service.
It seems to me that one could build a web service atop ArcIMS, to serve as the engine- a call to the service would generate a collection of tiles representing the area in question, and surrounding areas currently off-screen. Similarly, the ArcIMS frommappoint function could provide the means for inserting a client-side popup...
The possibilities suddenly become much closer at hand...
