AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) presents a new web development method of creating interactive applications for the Web. In simple terms, AJAX allows the pages to change their content without reloading by exchanging data with the server behind the scene. Think about AJAX as a way to speed up the process of browsing the site, while making it interactive and enjoyable.
Have you noticed the spinning icon when clicking on any menu items on this site? Yes, it is a sign of AJAX: our site abcwebgroup.com is a fully AJAXified site; you will not see even a single page reloading here! While you may find many sites incorporating a few AJAX elements (for example, form validation), there are not so many all-in-AJAX sites on the Web.
