Tech firms to promote Ajax in open source community

Source: Digital Media Asia

Summary:
Some computer industry vendors and internet-based businesses are making it easier for the open source community to form and popularise Ajax. Ajax is a fast-growing open client technology which businesses are incorporating into their external and internal websites to simplify the browsing experience, making it easier for users to shop, work, plan, correspond and navigate online.

Ajax makes it unnecessary to manually refresh one's browser to send or receive information over the web. Instead, information is automatically updated and available on demand, allowing the user to 'drag and drop' or input information and get a response without refreshing the browser, much like one would do on a PC desktop.
