Internet & Networking This article gives you a good understanding of the fundamental principles of Ajax and a nuts-and-bolts knowledge of the client and server side components that participate in an Ajax interaction. These are the building blocks of a Java-based Ajax Web application. In addition, you will be shown some of the high-level design issues that come with the Ajax approach.

RE[4]: Wrong way

Member since:

Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of ignoring older browsers. My department still supports Netscape 4.7 and AJAX doesn't support these old browsers.

Yes, that may be an issue. But really, NS4.7 was short-lived (apart from the fact that that's what I used from 97? to 2001, when Mozilla became usable), so why not move on to Mozilla/Seamonkey?

Also, keep in mind that due to accessibility issue, the blind tend to rely on text-only interfaces. So if your company mandated by law to be accessible, Lynx support is important.

I'm all pro text only. But I think text browsers should move on to support JS. Though overall, if you also mean one-dimensional UI besides from text-only, that might be a problem for AJAX-style design.

It's also important if you need to support Blackberry's crippled HTML.

I guess Blckberry users would have to resort to a normal browser at times.
