An iframe containing a frameset? Not Ajax at all.

And how can something whose acronym expands to Asynchronous *Javascript* and
XML possibly be called Ajax if it does not use *Javascript*?

The main purpose of AJAX is to drop the practice of using iFrames.
That sites do exactly what most developers used to before AJAX became
massive.

Iframes works without scripting yes. and there is no way
it can be AJAX just like rf said.
