Ah, AJAX. Tool for the best, buzzword for the rest.
Most web developers know the word but only some know what it stands for (Asynchronous Javascript And XML); others know the cleaning detergent and use it often. The rest of us simply run through our daily lives knowing something updated the stock ticker but not caring much about what it was. AJAX is a powerful tool, but frankly, it’s a pain to write the code it requires. Different browsers require different code; even different VERSIONS of browsers require different code. That’s why I’ll be introducing you today to two ways to AJAX-ify any site through the copious use of either jQuery or Mootools. Both libraries offer shortcuts to integrate the asynchronous loading of pages into your website without sacrificing usability or your sanity.
