I found a really cool website that shows examples (including the source code) of how Ajax can be used. The Drag and Drop shopping cart, really "WOWED" me and inspired me to implement something similar next time I build a shopping cart enviroment.

 

There's plenty of other examples, so check it out below when you have a spare moment.

Wow, I was just looking for real world AJAX examples and this is just one I found now, thank you for this great stuff Ben

Nice link!

 

*adds to library of helpful bookmarks*

To be honest I didn't know about AJAX until I got to this forum. That is some cool stuff! Now I want to use it...

Yeah I know what you mean, but what with myself learning Flash and more PHP there's just not enough hours in the day, i'll be onto it once I more knowledgeable in other areas. As the possibilities with Ajax are really amazing.

Do I need Ajax?

 

I looked at the demos and yes they are amazing, but not sure I want to use them to be honest - does that make me a freak?

Not at all. I prefer not to use any (yet)... that's because I don't know how and I want to be proficient in other stuff first.

I'll go with that! me too!

Do I need Ajax?

 

For most web designers, AJAX is just a buzz word. It's mostly useful for RIA's (Rich Internet Applications), and not really general websites unless you have some kind of widget that uses it (the live search tool with WordPress is AJAX for example). If you find yourself with a project with a complex data driven user interface - AJAX is probably worth looking into (although I'd use Flash first personally) otherwise, stick to plain hold html

Isn't Ajax an abrasive cleaner?? I'm with Eskymo on this one. I rather play with Flash

I saw that too the other day

 

 

Yeah, AJAX is wonderful. I am learning javascript so I can learn this language.

 

Mootools is another example of how AJAX is beautiful.

 

This is awesome, thought it was flash, http://script.aculo.us/

 

But its just using AJAX

The demos are truly amazing. They really do show you just what is achievable with ajax. However, ajax isnt always necessary, only really for creating large amounts of website activity, or just a small bit. Not for everyday use in websites.
