Want to add interactive features to your Web site? Want to create a beautiful Web application like a desktop application? "Ajax Hacks" is the book you're looking for to help you achieve these ideas. Ajax is a new example of a set of fundamental construction technologies that can help websites break free from the constraints of traditional Web technologies and give websites and Web applications more flexibility and interactivity. Ajax organically combines the strengths of HTML, JavaScript, and XML, allowing for partial data exchange between web pages and servers instead of full-page exchanges. With Ajax, you can perform more work on the client side, like the popular Gmail or Google Maps. Ajax is very suitable for the development of large-scale projects, and its flexibility is also applicable to medium and small-sized websites and applications. This book includes the following content: How to use Ajax to develop personalized HTML forms to meet the needs of different customers, How to share and integrate resources from Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, and GeoURL APIs, How to work with cookies in an Ajax environment, How to manage Browser History and Back button, How to remotely call Java and Ruby on Rails for Ajax application development, How to use JavaScript libraries such as Prototype, Rico, and script.aculo.us, How to manage network connections and Web services. In short, "Ajax Hacks" elaborates on a development tool for next-generation web applications, while also describing several different methods for using Ajax in program development.
