Concepts::What is Ajax? AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML. It is a pattern for refreshing sections of a web page without reloading the page. The underlying technologies surrounding Ajax like XML, Javascript etc
are not new. What is new is its use in recent high profile applications like Google Suggest and Google Maps which have led to an tremendous interest in creating UI rich web applications.
Let us parse the name further to see how the different technologies come into play
A - Asynchronous because the browser does not wait around for the
server request to complete
ja - client script uses the javascript object, XMLHttpRequest for
making the server calls
x - server response is in XML which is parsed by the client.
