Ajax Examples

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript ans XML) is a collection of tools and techniques used to create rich internet applications. Ajax is a technique (not a technology) that uses XHTML, CSS, XML, XSLT, and JavaScript. The Ajax engine works within the Web browser (through JavaScript and the DOM) to render the Web application and handle any requests that the customer might have of the Web server. The beauty of it is that because the Ajax engine is handling the requests, it can hold most information in the engine itself, while allowing the interaction with the application and the customer to happen asynchronously and independently of any interaction with the server. Here’s a list of some of my favorite sites that use Ajax to create a great user experience.
