By now, nearly everyone who works in web development has heard of the term Ajax, which is simply a term to describe client-server communication achieved without reloading the current page. Most articles on Ajax have focused on using XMLHttp as the means to achieving such communication, but Ajax techniques are not limited to just XMLHttp. There are several other methods.

This is an excellent article.
In the middle of "hidden / which" therere missing the words "LAYER / DIV" but the HTML markup made them dissappear..
After reading the article, I found it not deep enough. I have been using since Netscape 4.0 days a different technique involving the use of a hidden / which retrieved data from the server even from FORM elements and returning the data as javascript variables and a callback to let the main program know data was ready. I could even load a full page in the layer, but I preferred the hidden layer approach because then I could choose how to render the data in the main page.
Here described methods have no any two directional communication with server.
First approach is dynamic generation of document. Second one is one direction request, without getting response from server to the SAME window/document.
Only AJAX allow to know moment, when sending of some info ready, and get completed response from server. So in this case exist feedback, also with possible validation and errors processing, retry query or request more data...
[OT] or tadkozh could you learn english as the rest of the world try to do.. Im italian but I know french and english... so you can learn another language. ;)
[IT(in theme)]: I Hope to learn JS language and much more PHP, so Ill use better Ajax!!!
You should translate this web site in french. It would be interesting...
Read the article...
Several other methods? Which ones?
Huh.. there is nothing to learn in Ajax, simplier thing cannot be imagined.. Use one of the ready to use AJAX libraries and thats basically it!
Am a fan of OSS. i have been looking for sites that can teach me about Ajax and webtechnologies, abt the techniques, i believe this is a very good idea because this enables one to do the same thing the same way.. chao
