Undoubtedly, XMLHttpRequest is the most important function in Ajax. With this function, developers could easily transfer XML files from the client to server. XMLHttpRequest can single-handedly transform your application from a simple website to an Ajax based website. Its asynchronous function makes Ajax one of the coolest website and application technique today. Unfortunately, some developers have used it rather more than they should. Of course when a good thing is overused, it becomes really bad. The case of XMLHttpRequest is no different. When the function is overused it tends to overlap over some of the important things a website should have.

Comet is a programming technique that enables web servers to send data to the client without having any need for the client to request it. This technique will produce more responsive applications than classic AJAX. In classic AJAX applications, web browser (client) cannot be notified in real time that the server data model has changed. The user must create a request (for example by clicking on a link) or a periodic AJAX request must happen in order to get new data from the server.
I will explain in this document how to implement a simple Comet application with PHP programming language.

Ajax programming is one of the most exciting new technologies in recent history. Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) allows a web page to refresh a small portion of its data from a web server, rather than being forced to reload and redraw the entire page as in traditional web programming. Since they can make frequent, small updates, web applications written with Ajax programming can present user interfaces that are more like desktop applications, which are more natural and intuitive

Introduction Ajax is a method for building highly efficient and interactive web sites. It stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Through a combination of technologies, Ajax makes it possible for most of the processing work for web page interaction to take place between the server and the browser, not requiring the user to wait for the entire page to re-load each time a request is processed. Ajax applications offer a layer of communication between

Introduction Adobe’s Flash/Flex and vendor-independent Ajax are both used to design dynamic and interactive web applications. Both allow for interface animation and are platform independent meaning content will appear the same across platforms. There are many similarities and Flash/Flex is often used as a partial substitution for Ajax interface technologies. However, there are significant differences as well. For example, Flash
