according to wiki pedia

Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.

Answer 3

Here is what it means if you are asking with reference to programming world:

Ajax is combination of XML & Asynchronous JavaScript .

It works from behind the scenes like server end scripting but gives the front end user a feel of interactive responsiveness thus making an application interactive.

Thus you do not have to refresh the entire page in order to get an update of a small portion of page. This in turn increases the web page efficacy, interactivity, speed, and usability and reduces the bandwidth too for which java has been well know to all of us since its inception.

Answer 6

relies upon on the context. Ajax in Greek myth grew to become into between the main considered necessary warriors on the Greek component in the Trojan conflict. Ajax in soccer is between the main time-honored eu communities, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Ajax in utility Programming stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, a technique for optimizing the way a cyber web internet site is rendered onto the browser. Ajax is likewise an commercial cleanser from Colgate-Palmolive.

Answer 7

• mythology (Homer's Iliad)
Ajax the Great, or Telamonian Ajax - a Greek hero and legendary king of Salamis
Ajax the Lesser, or Oilean Ajax - a Greek hero and legendary king of Locris who appears in Homer's Iliad

• computing
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Extensible Markup Language). It is an amalgamation of technologies that give web applications the look-and-feel of desktop applications. AJAX enables web applications to mimic the speed and immediacy of native clients. It is used in Web development for creating interactive Web applications. The technology combines HTML, XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to present information. AJAX works in Web browsers that support DHTML (Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language).

AJAX isn't something new. It has been around for years under various names like JavaScript Remote Scripting, Remote Scripting with I-frame technology, and JPSpan. It's already in use with some popular Web services including Gmail, Google Maps, and Microsoft's Virtual Earth. It's an approach to web development, rather than a specific tool you buy. The sudden interest is fueled by continued adoption of browser standards.

By providing a richer user experience, AJAX web applications offer an alternative to desktop applications that increasingly fail to meet today's computing needs. However, one drawback is that using the back button on a browser does not work well with JavaScript. (As use of the back button is considered vital, and this is one of the reasons why we cannot have pure JavaScript Web applications.) Though AJAX enables users to structure interesting and impressive applications the additional code-work means increased workload for the browser - necessitating a more powerful processor.

Some competing technologies are Flash, XAML, XUL and Laszlo. Macromedia Flash Mix, Freehand, etc. generate flash files that can be viewed in Web browsers using a plug-in or standalone viewer. Another technology is XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language, developed by Microsoft. Use of XML requires no support from any other language like HTML, Flash or PDF (Portable Document Format). XAML works well for Web and .Net applications. Then there is XUL (XML User Interface Language), a Mozilla XML-based User interface Language. The language enables users to build rich cross-platform applications that can run when connected or disconnected to the Internet.

Answer 8

A Greek hero during the Trojan War, second only to Achilles' prowess and valor. The son of Telemon of Salamis and Periboea Ajax vied with Ulysses for the arms which had belonged to the fallen Achilles. Maddened by disappointment and anger when they were awarded to the latter, Ajax slew the Greek army's flock of sheep, mistaking them for enemies. When he regained his senses and realized what he had done, he killed himself from shame and despair.
