AJAX !!!

Today, I'm not focusing on AJAX Soccer team but trying to share something about this astonishing Technique known as Asynchronised Javascript and XML.

This Web Development Technique is used for creating interactive Web Applications.Four major benifits of AJAX are INCREASED

1. Interactivity



2. Speed



3. Usability



4. Functionality

Whats does it comprises of ?

• XHTML(or HTML) for marking up information.



• The DOM accessed with a client-side scripting language, such as JavaScript and JScript, to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.



• The XMLHttpRequest object is used to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. In some Ajax frameworks and in certain situations, an IFrame object is used instead of the XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data with the web server, and in other implementations, dynamically added <script> tags may be used.



• XML is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, although any format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text and JSON. These files may be created dynamically by some form of server-side scripting

Ajax is asynchronous in the loading and does not interfere with
normal page loading. JavaScript is the programming
Language in which Ajax function calls are made. Data retrieved using the
technique is commonly formatted using XML, as reflected in the naming of the XMLHttpRequest object from which Ajax is
derived.

AJAX is cross platform used on distinct Web browsers,Operating Systems and computer architecture because it uses Open standard like XML and javascript.

This is one of many reasons why Open source utilities provide us the Platform independent benifites.

OPEN Source rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
