Ajax demo

The technique used on this page is known as 'Ajax' or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML and only works with modern browsers (Firefox, Safari and IE 6 should all work).

It's a really a great idea and this demo prove the advantages in situation like a search function. I think Gmail use also Ajax in some features.

  • Nice - one thing I like about Google Suggest though is that it's very quick to respond - I guess part of that is through reducing the returned content to a bar minimum - just plain text...

  • Yes! A lot of people still are thinking in POSTBACKs like it is used in ASP.NET. I saw there a C# Wrapper that will allow to get data from the client javascript without the need of special programming, but I do not find the URL.
