Anyone know anything about AJAX?

Replies pleaseremove Posted at 3:05 pm on May 19, 2006 Related to this, google has released a toolbox framework http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ One page thats good for showing off what it can do is here: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/documentation/examples/kitchensink/demo.html Also, the tutorial here is a nice way to start: http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp Examples of where it can be used, at one stage there was a script on LW that refreshed your new PM's. It went back to the server every 1min and only had to load a tiny bit of HTML without refreshing the whole page. You do have to remember though that this is still a pull technology, not push so it can create high loads on servers when checking, hence why LW no longer uses this. jamesvarnham Posted at 2:58 pm on May 19, 2006 AJAX is cool, it gives webpages a whole new feeling.... its like Web 2.0 trikola Posted at 10:34 pm on Nov. 5, 2005 its HTML XML and some other web languages working together. Benefit is you dont have to refresh the page for updates from the server. One example is Gmail hearts that bleed Posted at 4:15 pm on Sep. 27, 2005 It's also a cleaning agent.
