Thank you so much for your time in answering

Here's a Wrox.com article "What is Ajax" by Chris Ullman from his book Beginning Ajax that should get you started.

Nice article. I'm one of those criticizers of Ajax, though not of the concepts. I just feel it is now over-used. I find it in places that have no need of it. And/or in places where there are simpler (and faster) solutions. When used with JSON, especially, there are clearly faster and easier solutions available (specifically, hidden IFRAMEs where you dump in an a JS array ready-to-go so you don't need the hassle of the eval( ) that JSON needs).

But never mind. AJAX is still clearly the right solution for many, many problems and that article does a nice job of getting the concepts straight for beginners.

p.s.: Here's a funny: You *could* use "AJAX" without using JavaScript and without using XML. That is, *IF* your audience exclusively used MSIE, you could use all the same concepts and code in VBScript with, say, CSV-style text data. So what should we call it then? "ABAC"?? <grin/>

thanks for the reply i really appreciate it..

good day

It also doesn't have to asynchronous, so Synchronous VBScript and JSON, SVAJ...

LOL!!!! LOVE IT!

Of course, it would no longer by JSON. It would be VBSON. SVAB. Ehhh...this is getting silly. I guess the real lesson here is that there are just too many ways to skin this particular cat.
