Introduction
AJAX or Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML, is an innovative way of using existing technologies to create highly interactive web applications.
AJAX
allows portions of the page to be updated without having to refresh and
reload the entire page. It can increase site performance significantly
and provide cutting edge user interfaces. Unfortunately it can also be
a source of concern for delivering fully accessible web sites.
