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

Introduction Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It incorporates a suite of technologies aimed at improving user experience with web pages. It also allows programs written in different programming languages on different browsers to communicate with each other. Translation, communication and function between web applications happens remotely and, ideally, instantaneously. Another primary aim of Ajax is to reduce user delay

Introduction In a recent article, reporter and web developer Sean Michael Kerner declared “The AJAX World Belongs to Google”. This article refers to the dominance of Ajax in Google’s web applications and how Google’s continued incorporation of Ajax techniques is bringing Ajax to the mainstream. Ajax is an acronym for “Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. By collaborating the functions of various pre-exist

Introduction Ajax is currently one of the major forces in web development. It’s an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It describes a set of technologies that work together with JavaScript to create more dynamic and interactive web applications. It is not a specific product, but its strategy is currently being incorporated in much product development. Through Ajax, web applications behave more like desktop applications,

Introduction One of the major concerns of information technology (IT) in the present historical moment is making the Web and web applications as efficient as possible. This insures a business’ competitive edge in this era where operating systems and applications are increasingly accessed and/or stored on the Internet. Web applications that can function on a variety of platforms or in a variety of contexts have been difficult to attain.

Introduction Ajax frameworks support Ajax technologies to build dynamic, client-side web sites. On dynamic web pages, users can make requests of a database contained on a server. Within an Ajax framework the data is sent to or read by the server through the use of JavaScript. This allows users to make specific requests that are processed and implemented using dynamic factors like specific user input, time of day or search history to determine the content

On the surface, Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. However, the acronym doesn’t describe an object, but a technique for web development. The definition incorporates a suite of technologies working in conjunction for web development. These techniques help produce more responsive and interactive web applications. Increased interactivity is required by web applications since so much of the marketplace and the services they require are currently electronic

Introduction Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. However, rather than functioning as an acronym it better describes a technique for producing faster, more interactive, and usable web pages that don’t require re-loading every time a user changes a request. This is accomplished by increasing web page responsive-ness through the exchange of small pieces of data by an invisible server. The prerequisites of Ajax are a collaboration

For this article, we'll create an interactive shopping experience allowing us to add items to our shopping basket by dragging and dropping them onto an icon of a shopping cart. We'll add AJAX functionality, allowing us to update our shopping cart without redrawing the entire screen. To save the trouble of setting up a product database, we'll use Amazon Web Services to search for DVDs and use those to shop from.

I have a client that has their own version of IE installed in their large user base (I think this is very typical of large corporations). While they have JavaScript running, they have removed the XMLHTTP object. So, how do you do AJAX without XMLHTTP?

CAPTCHA is a simple test to determine if a user is a computer or a human. It is used to prevent spam abuse on the websites. So if you use CAPTCHA on your web site forms, this can help in stopping some bots and making life harder for other bots in accessing or using your forms. The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to make your own simple CAPTCHA protection using PHP and AJAX technologies.
