About this tutorial

This AJAX tutorial explains what AJAX is and demonstrates how you can use it.

This tutorial uses ColdFusion to perform the server-side code but you can use any language you like for the server-side code.

What is AJAX?

AJAX (also referred to as "remote scripting") stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, and refers to a method of programming that incorporates the following technologies to send and receive data between the browser and server:

  • JavaScript
  • XML
  • HTML
  • CSS

With traditional web applications, when users submit a form they have to wait around for the page to reload before seeing the results.

With AJAX, your application can dynamically populate a page (for example, retrieve data from a database) without having to reload the page.
