Ajax is short for ‘Asynchronous
Java Script+CSS+DOM+XMLHttp Request.’
Even if you weren’t intimidated before, that tidbit is
probably enough to make you reach for the Excedrin. Just reach for

explanations, and live Web sites where you can see Ajax
applications doing their thing, it will have you using Ajax to
create Web applications that look an act like desktop applications
in no time. With Ajax, you can speed up and clean up your Web
applications. Shoppers at your online store can fill their carts
without waiting for multiple page refreshes. Searchers on your
sites can get instant results on the same page.
This guide takes you on a tour of how Ajax is used today,
complete with examples of Ajax applications in action, such as an
Ajax-enabled Yahoo! search or an Ajax-based chat application. Then
it gives you basics on using Java Script. After that you dive in and
get info on:
* Writing some Ajax, interactive mouseovers using Ajax, passing
data to the server with GET or POST, and more
* Connecting to Google for a live search

from scratch, including Ajax Gold (written specifically for this
book), AJAXLib, and grabbing XML with lib Xml Request

the scenes, and more
