This tutorial shows how to create an Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) client-side slide show that's animated using "Ken Burns Effects." You'll discover how to build XML data sources for Ajax, request XML data from the client, and then dynamically create and animate HTML elements with that XML.
This is a mini-tutorial on saving state across page loads on the client side, without using cookies so as to save large amounts of data beyond cookies size limits.
This tutorial explains from the very beginning how to use AJAX in web applications. It is assumed you have a knowledge of Javascript (with a little DOM) as well as a server side scripting language, although you should pick it up easily.
In this article, the first of three parts, you will start creating a simple web-based POP 3 client using Ajax, which will use "XMLHttpRequest" objects to retrieve messages from a mail server.
In this article I'm going to show you three simple and practical uses for Ajax on your Web site. You'll need to know a bit of HTML, JavaScript, and PHP to follow along, but I'll do my best to explain everything in simple terms so you don't get lost.
This article illustrates one method of benchmarking your Ajax applications as well as point out some of the major performance pitfalls that the author has encountered while developing Ajax components and applications.
Step-by-step tutorial to understand the XMLHttpRequest object and how to use it from JavaScript. Examples with text, XML and JSON files. The tutorial is completed by demo pages that you can use as templates for you own website. Plus a specific JSON tutorial a very simple to use format.
You could spend a lot of time figuring out all the pieces of JavaScript on the client side and Perl on the server side in order to work out how to use Ajax in your code. Thankfully, there's already a module on CPAN to take the pain out it: CGI::Ajax.
