Description

"Google is making a huge investment in developing the Ajax approach. All of the major products Google has introduced over the last year — Orkut, Gmail, the latest beta version of Google Groups, Google Suggest, and Google Maps — are Ajax applications".

Ajax is a web development technique which is used for creating interactive web applications using a combination of

  • XHTML and CSS
  • Document Object Model
  • XML and XSLT
  • XMLHttpRequest
  • JavaScript

The biggest advantage of using Ajax technologies is that data can be manipulated without having to render the entire page again in the web browser. This allows web applications to respond more quickly to many types of user interaction and to avoid repeatedly sending unchanged information back and forth across the network. While no browser plug-in is required, Ajax requires users to have JavaScript enabled in their browsers.
