AJAX means Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages. It is used to change or update a section without refreshing the whole webpage.
Sample code of use of AJAX:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function loadXMLDoc() { var xmlhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax_info.txt",true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="myDiv"><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div> <button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change Content</button> </body> </html>
Function that runs the AJAX :
function loadXMLDoc() { var xmlhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax_info.txt",true); xmlhttp.send(); }
