What is Ajax?
Ajax is a way of developing Web applications that combines:
XHTML and CSS standards based presentation
Interaction with the page through the DOM
Data interchange with XML and XSLT
Asynchronous data retrieval with XMLHttpRequest
JavaScript to tie it all together
In the traditional Web application, the interaction between the customer and the server goes like this:
Customer accesses Web application
Server processes request and sends data to the browser while the customer waits
Customer clicks on a link or interacts with the application
Server processes request and sends data back to the browser while the customer waits
etc....
