    you should understand though that ajax is mainly javascript interacting with a server side language. Only If I had the tutorial found it

    Ajax is not a product. It's a framework that utilizes other products. If you're a PHP person then for you Ajax will utilze PHP. Have your cake and eat it.

    A quick Ajax example. Basic (and buggy) drag and drop using css and javascript. Also using the XMLHTTP object to communicate with the server and run a small php script that returns the current datetime and it's correspoding md5 hash every 5 seconds.

    Just viewsource for the html. The info.php file looks something like this:

    Code:
    <?php
    $date = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");
    $string =$date . " - " .  md5($date);
    echo $string;
    ?>

    After seeing this technology being used with the private message feature and the quick post feature, I am impressed. Have started to check it out and read up on it. Good stuff.

    Google seems to be one of the biggest early adopters of Ajax and many of their tools utilize it. One very simple (relative) but useful one is Google Suggest which queries google's server in real time as you type in the search box and offers suggestions. Very nice.
    Actually AJAX has been around for some time, since probably 1998. I suppose the biggest thing holding back and the reason why I dont know it so well is the whole issue of compatibility with browsers. As a general rule of thumb Ive always thought it best to leave javascript as an after thought. But with talks of standardizing AJAX across browsers and the fact that more browsers enable its use now, i guess thats part of the reason why its picking up just recently.

    The trouble with learning from experience
    is that the test comes first and
    the lesson afterwards
