AJAX Brilliant Idea, Changing The Web Before Our Very Own Eyes.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but AJAX has taken the web by storm Google, Msn and Yahoo are all using it and its brilliant.
I don’t know if many of you out there are web developers etc, but AJAX sends and receives information between browser’s and website servers, AJAX comes from JavaScript which is like AJAX but it does not send and receive information.
So lets think about a “shoutbox” normally you wouldn’t use JavaScript because its pointless you don’t need it but put in a little bit of AJAX scripting you have a “live” ShoutBox no need to refresh because AJAX will grab the information and show it on your screen!
I can see this becoming the way forward for Website Development, JavaScript will slowly get pushed out of the way and we will have practically applications online for example Google Doc’s etc.

your a tad wrong with your ajax theory here.
Ajax is NOT a technology, it is merely a method used in javascript that can enable client-server side communication and display the result in a layer on a page making it look like the page hasn’t reloaded.
it also used the document object model to create instant looking effects. its not actually that new, the technique has been around for quite some time.

Thanks for commenting neutron, a lot of technical jargon i didn’t understand their but i get the overall idea.
I really should learn my javascript I keep meaning to read up never get down to doing it though. Only problem is it seems to be very popular in the website world.
