Product Description
Product Description
Written for experienced web developers, Professional Ajax shows how to combine tried and true CSS, XML, and JavaScript technologies into Ajax. This provides web developers with the ability to create more sophisticated and responsive user interfaces and break free from the "click and wait" standard that has dominated the web since its introduction.
Professional Ajax discusses the range of request brokers (including the hidden frame technique, iframes, and XMLHttp) and explains when one should be used over another. You will also learn different Ajax techniques and patterns for executing client server communication on your web site and in web applications. By the end of the book, you will have gained the practical knowledge necessary to implement your own Ajax solutions. In addition to a full chapter case study showing how to combine the book s Ajax techniques into an AjaxMail application, Professional Ajax uses many other examples to build hands on Ajax experience. Some of the other examples include:
- web site widgets for a news ticker, weather information, web search, and site search
- preloading pages in online articles
- incremental form validation
- using Google Web APIs in Ajax
- creating an autosuggest text box
