Ajax

The word "Ajax" is the latest Buzzword everywhere.

Ajax is a technology that runs in your browser . It uses asynchronous data transfer

between the browser and the webserver , allowing webpages to request small bits of

information from the server instead of whole pages.

It is a Webbrowser tecnology independent of webserver software.


If we start wondering abt What makes Ajax differnt ?

Well , an Ajaz application eliminates the start-stop-start-stop nature of

interacting on the web by introducing - an Ajax engine- between the

user and the server .

Instead of loading a webpage , at the start of the session ,the browser loads an

Ajax engine - wriiten in javascript and usually tucked away in a hidden frame.

This engine is responsible for both rendering the interface the user sees and

communicating with the server on the users behalf.











By the way AJAX stands for : "Asynchronous JavaScript and Xml"


All the new major products launched by GOOGLE use Ajax technology,

Gmail,Google groups, Google Suggests, Google Maps. etc.
