AHAX, an HTML version of Ajax provides almost the same functionality however, does not have the really cool features of JavaScript. It goes to use HTML so that it could render XML in the webpage. It is really simple and looked better compared to simple HTML but I think it defeats the purpose of being a great alternate to Ajax since it does not offer the exact RIA that we are looking for in Ajax. Now another alternate to Ajax is steadily getting a buzz. I checked them out and it is pretty impressive when you take a look at their example. Although I have only seen the theoretical side of this programming technique, it looks very promising. FJAX stands for Flash JavaScript and XML and although it replaces the A for Asynchronous, it still offers the same behavior you would expect from an Ajax based website.
