History of Ajax Components
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8109/history-of-ajax-components.html
Introduction Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
However, rather than functioning as an acronym it better describes a
technique for producing faster, more interactive, and usable web pages
that don’t require re-loading every time a user changes a request.
This is accomplished by increasing web page responsive-ness through
the exchange of small pieces of data by an invisible server. The
prerequisites of Ajax are a collaboration

Building "drag and drop" shopping cart with Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8110/building-drag-and-drop-shopping-cart-with-ajax.html
For this article, we'll create an interactive shopping experience
allowing us to add items to our shopping basket by dragging and
dropping them onto an icon of a shopping cart. We'll add AJAX
functionality, allowing us to update our shopping cart without
redrawing the entire screen. To save the trouble of setting up a
product database, we'll use Amazon Web Services to search for DVDs and
use those to shop from.

CAPTCHA is a simple test to determine if a user is a computer or a
human. It is used to prevent spam abuse on the websites. So if you use
CAPTCHA on your web site forms, this can help in stopping some bots
and making life harder for other bots in accessing or using your
forms. The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to make your
own simple CAPTCHA protection using PHP and AJAX technologies.

Using JSP Tag Libraries for Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8084/using-jsp-tag-libraries-for-ajax.html
JavaServer Pages or JSP is one of the small things Java has developed
to aid the developers in building faster and better Java based
applications. JavaServer Pages has the ability to built HTML documents
every time they are requested by user or when triggered by the
application. Through JSP, developers will have the ability to build a
webpage that will not require a very strong bandwidth. A simple Java
application will require the user an installed Java and a faster
bandwidth

Overdoing XMLHttpRequest
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8085/overdoing-xmlhttprequest.html
Undoubtedly, XMLHttpRequest is the most important function in Ajax.
With this function, developers could easily transfer XML files from
the client to server. XMLHttpRequest can single-handedly transform
your application from a simple website to an Ajax based website. Its
asynchronous function makes Ajax one of the coolest website and
application technique today. Unfortunately, some developers have used
it rather more than they should. Of course when a good thing is
overused, it becomes really bad. The case of XMLHttpRequest is no
different. When the function is overused it tends to overlap over some
of the important things a website should have.

Detecting Object Problems
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8086/detecting-object-problems.html
A very smart practice in coding is to test if the function will have
the ability to perform in a particular browser. This is especially
true in Ajax-based websites as developers have to face constant
browser incompatibilities. Objects could easily be a problem when
everything is in place for a particular browser but it will just
falter since development of the program has not considered other
browsers.

Scaffolding for Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8087/scaffolding-for-ajax.html
Talking about scaffolding makes us think about building construction
support. The term scaffolding was also admitted by Rails as a way of
helping developers build an application faster. In Rails, developers
enjoy the privilege of having a temporary code to build a demo of the
application. This code is not built for long time use, but just enough
to support the system for a demo. Some says it is a waste of time but
when you take a look at it, it is actually a good thing.

How to implement COMET with PHP
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8089/how-to-implement-comet-with-php.html
Comet is a programming technique that enables web servers to send data
to the client without having any need for the client to request it.
This technique will produce more responsive applications than classic
AJAX. In classic AJAX applications, web browser (client) cannot be
notified in real time that the server data model has changed. The user
must create a request (for example by clicking on a link) or a
periodic AJAX request must happen in order to get new data from the
server. I will explain in this document how to implement a simple
Comet application with PHP programming language.

Ajax programming is one of the most exciting new technologies in

page to refresh a small portion of its data from a web server, rather
than being forced to reload and redraw the entire page as in
traditional web programming. Since they can make frequent, small
updates, web applications written with Ajax programming can present
user interfaces that are more like desktop applications, which are

process XML, this lightweight function could easily be associated with
a Java-enabled framework. This technique will help developers easily
build an Ajax based application using their knowledge in Java and not
write anything in JavaScript. When JSP was launched, some of its tags
could be easily integrated to the present framework.

Preventing Improper Authorization in Ajax

In a simple HTML website, developers will always have the luxury of
keeping sensitive information to themselves. When you log in to the
admin page of the website, the information that you see is solely for
those who have proper authorization. Without username and password,
hackers will have a really hard time figuring out how to access the

Preventing Cross Site Script Attacks

Cross Site Script or XSS is one of the popular methods for attacking
not only to Ajax based websites but almost any other website that
accepts user inputs. Even before Ajax was conceptualized, this attack
was already practiced by different hackers. There was one hack that
was used in 2005 wherein MySpace.com was targeted. It uses a simple
JavaScript function that could be embedded in user’s website and
others. Once they view the webpage, the “My Hero” link is changed to
the name of the hacker. It is practically a pyramid hack since anyone
who sees the profile became the host of the hack. The code was
actually posted by the builder of the hack in possible reparation for
what he did. It is just a simple JavaScript that could be embedded in
any website. It just does not hack any information, it practically
takes over every function it wants to. Here are some practices that
will prevent future attacks using XSS.

OutPost Framework - WebForms and Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8072/outpost-framework-webforms-and-ajax.html
It is already an established problem in Ajax that developers would
still need to develop almost two types of applications if they wanted
to build an online application good for Mozilla and Internet Explorer.
Because of this struggle, developers would have to build almost two
different applications that will require a lot more than the usual
time for application development. The end result however, is well
worth it. A highly efficient Ajax based application does not only
provide eye catching features but could easily provide a highly
effective application with processing speed that almost rivals any
simple web-based application. Transmitting only the data needed in the
application for Ajax has lessened the bandwidth requirements for an
Ajax based application.

Not that they do not know the language but their knowledge are just in
the gateway to know something but not everything. They were forced to

state of the website and even the things you have written there.

to toil hard and rough so that the last state of the website is
preserved. In a regular setting, the whole webpage reloads whenever

One of the biggest challenges of any developer is to enable the
webpage to all visitors as fast as possible. Unfortunately, our
knowledge always precedes our available technology. Although we can
create very interactive websites with the ability to watch videos
while having to look for information on the webpage itself, it
requires advanced technologies that every one cannot afford. Until
today, there are still people who rely on dial-up so that they can
access the net. Most of today’s websites are optimized for broadband
speed but the broadband speed still needs some work so that people can
access the website faster. Although Ajax already uses lesser
bandwidth, the fact that we can even make it faster opens up so many
possibilities in web development and more information for users.

types of lightweight applications and plug-ins launched using jQuery.
Ajax based websites that offers simple interface would virtually work
together using jQuery’s simple interface. Because of language’s
popularity several books have been published to cater to the need of
the increasing popularity of the program. Even though the library is

note one of the biggest problems in an Ajax based website and

Server API” referring to the API built from the server which provides
little to nothing in terms of security. Almost every hack that I have

Developing an Ajax based application with minimal JavaScript coding is
possible with the use of VS 2005, ASP.NET and a simple but powerful
library called Anthem.NET. This open source library might not be
popular but it has been given a pretty good ranking as it provides any
developer the ability to build an Ajax based website without using too
much Ajax. As you may have already noticed, it uses a lot of
frameworks and software development tools to compensate with the
minimal use of JavaScript. To use Anthem.NET you need to fire it up
first in ASP.NET. Basically, you will just have to use the libraries
DLL as a reference point to make it work. It is really simple at first
glance but apparently Antem.NET’s DLL is not precompiled first. Make
sure that you compile the project carefully as the DLL could get

Personally, one of the simplest yet amazing web tools today is the
RSS. This tool could be found everywhere – in blogs, news, podcasts

with the keywords they prefer. In fact, Google Reader is an elaborate
web based program that gathers all the RSS feeds preferred by the
user. You do not have to go back and forth to the webpage for update.
The news is sent directly to your mail, or to your reader depending on
your preferences. On the other hand, Ajax is an emerging technology
that has practically influenced all facets of web technology.
Fortunately enough, it has also influenced RSS opening doors to almost
infinite possibilities. When a developer is very creative with Ajax,
the developer could do so many things and RSS could be recreated to a
new life. When we combine RSS and Ajax, we end up with an Ajax based

AHAX, an HTML version of Ajax provides almost the same functionality
however, does not have the really cool features of JavaScript. It goes
to use HTML so that it could render XML in the webpage. It is really
simple and looked better compared to simple HTML but I think it
defeats the purpose of being a great alternate to Ajax since it does
not offer the exact RIA that we are looking for in Ajax. Now another
alternate to Ajax is steadily getting a buzz. I checked them out and
it is pretty impressive when you take a look at their example.
Although I have only seen the theoretical side of this programming
technique, it looks very promising. FJAX stands for Flash JavaScript

development. A lot of tools have been developed to cater to this
programming technique. Although it has been dubbed to be a very
challenging technique to master, it all goes down to three languages
to build an efficient Ajax website: JavaScript, HTML and XML. Some
have preferred to use JSON instead of XML but an efficient mark-up
language is all that Ajax needs to perform well. The efficiency it
brings is almost second to none and the interface an Ajax application
could do is beyond par.

Spring Framework on Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8053/spring-framework-on-ajax.html
Spring Framework maybe one of the amazing frameworks to ever come out
for Java environment. The first edition was released in 2003 and it
has become the stage for various developments for Java based
napplication. Even before Ajax was born, Spring Framework has already
set up standards for free expression of web application. The main
reason why Spring Framework works well with most Java developers
because it enables the developers freely select the parallel
programming model.

Better Ajax Behavior through CallBack
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8054/better-ajax-behavior-through-callback.html
One of the struggles of web developers is the limited browser
behavior. Once the page loads and starts to show its content with the
client, communication to the server stops. If the server is not
loading continuously, no new information is available unless new
information is requested by the user. However, this triggers not only
new information but the whole webpage will be loaded. In a very heavy
website, users might find themselves struggling to update information
of the webpage

Planning to develop an efficient Ajax based application is easier with
Prototype.js. This framework was developed specifically to simplify
almost any Ajax based function. It is MIT licensed framework could
easily be integrated to other frameworks. To start using the
framework it has to be referenced first in your webpage. The following

Formula for Ajax Failure
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8056/formula-for-ajax-failure.html
Ajax is still going strong and the hype will never go down unless a
new and a better technique is coming up. So far, what we have seen are
variation of Ajax – FJAX, AHAX and SAJAX. Although they are innovation
by themselves, we cannot help but thinking that these innovations
happened because of Ajax. We just have to wait a little bit for the
next big thing. For now we have to work a little bit better for Ajax’s
development. In this state, the developers still has a lot of things
to understand to build a highly efficient Ajax based website. There
are so many pitfalls in Ajax and one flaw will mean an unsecured
website open for all hackers to exploit.

MooTools – A Review
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8057/mootools-a-review.html
MooTools is an open source JavaScript framework that evolved from the
simple function called moo.fx. The developers of moo.fx have slowly
expanded this simple function into a fully functional framework. As of
this writing, the framework is on its 1.2.0 version and has been
enjoying a good following along with other JavaScript frameworks.
MooTools is a lightweight framework. But do not think MooTools is
another lightweight framework that would eventually stack-up. This
framework is as lean as they could be. Instead of stacking up the
functions and lines, MooTools divide the codes by developing functions
in small code bases.

Enhancing JSON Security
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8058/enhancing-json-security.html
More and more Ajax developers are choosing JSON for their data
transfer instead of XML. Although XML has been the pillar of Ajax (X
is for XML), JSON has become the choice of most developers because it
was particularly built for JavaScript. Compared to XML, JSON is
lighter and will work faster compared to XML. This lightweight
function enables Ajax based websites and applications to run faster.
The reason why JSON is very efficient in data transmission is its
ability to function in itself. By this function we mean that JSON has
the ability to “EXECUTE” without the aid of other functions. XML is
only a format which will be used to transmit data and files, but JSON
is very effective in terms self execution.

AJAX in a White Box
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8059/ajax-in-a-white-box.html
We have already laid out some of the loopholes that could be used by
different hackers. In this article we will take a look at a very basic
hack that could be done even by none-developers and how to prevent it.
Personally, the biggest problem for any Ajax based developer is the
transparency of the source code. To understand this let us take a look
at different online applications that runs in a different language. An
HTML application for example will only show you a source code with the
input box and nothing else. That information is useless for hackers
since it just translates a very small part of what they see. An HTML
based application securely covers its source code and shows
practically nothing. A hacker will probably use a sniffer (network
traffic analyzer) but it will just show up some information on what
server is used. In that point, a hacker may already create a hacking
script but hackers will still have a long way to go through just to
infiltrate an HTML-based website.

Activating SOAP using Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8060/activating-soap-using-ajax.html
Any business transactions who want nothing more than security, speed
and accuracy of application use SOAP for information transportation
between applications. Using HTTP, developers are able to use the
internet and more specifically, the browsers to ensure that the
application and information transfer will never require more than a
stable internet connection. Based on current technologies today, SOAP
web services is stronger than ever because of the advantages it
ensures. The development of Ajax development techniques made it even
better for SOAP web based services. SOAP uses XML for data transfer
which is a very smart choice. As a universal data mark-up XML could
practically be integrated to any browser with the full security you
can expect from any mark-up protocol.

JavaServer Pages or JSP is one of the small things Java has developed
to aid the developers in building faster and better Java based
applications. JavaServer Pages has the ability to built HTML documents
every time they are requested by user or when triggered by the
application. Through JSP, developers will have the ability to build a
webpage that will not require a very strong bandwidth. A simple Java
application will require the user an installed Java and a faster

Overdoing XMLHttpRequest
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8085/overdoing-xmlhttprequest.html
Undoubtedly, XMLHttpRequest is the most important function in Ajax.
With this function, developers could easily transfer XML files from
the client to server. XMLHttpRequest can single-handedly transform
your application from a simple website to an Ajax based website. Its
asynchronous function makes Ajax one of the coolest website and
application technique today. Unfortunately, some developers have used
it rather more than they should. Of course when a good thing is
overused, it becomes really bad. The case of XMLHttpRequest is no
different. When the function is overused it tends to overlap over some
of the important things a website should have.

Detecting Object Problems

A very smart practice in coding is to test if the function will have
the ability to perform in a particular browser. This is especially
true in Ajax-based websites as developers have to face constant
browser incompatibilities. Objects could easily be a problem when
everything is in place for a particular browser but it will just
falter since development of the program has not considered other
browsers.

enjoy the privilege of having a temporary code to build a demo of the

to support the system for a demo. Some says it is a waste of time but

How to implement COMET with PHP

Comet is a programming technique that enables web servers to send data
to the client without having any need for the client to request it.
This technique will produce more responsive applications than classic
AJAX. In classic AJAX applications, web browser (client) cannot be
notified in real time that the server data model has changed. The user
must create a request (for example by clicking on a link) or a
periodic AJAX request must happen in order to get new data from the
server. I will explain in this document how to implement a simple

JavaScript function that could be embedded in user’s website and
others. Once they view the webpage, the “My Hero” link is changed to
the name of the hacker. It is practically a pyramid hack since anyone
who sees the profile became the host of the hack. The code was
actually posted by the builder of the hack in possible reparation for
what he did. It is just a simple JavaScript that could be embedded in
any website. It just does not hack any information, it practically

Because of this struggle, developers would have to build almost two
different applications that will require a lot more than the usual
time for application development. The end result however, is well
worth it. A highly efficient Ajax based application does not only
provide eye catching features but could easily provide a highly

requires advanced technologies that every one cannot afford. Until
today, there are still people who rely on dial-up so that they can
access the net. Most of today’s websites are optimized for broadband
speed but the broadband speed still needs some work so that people can

by themselves, we cannot help but thinking that these innovations
happened because of Ajax. We just have to wait a little bit for the
next big thing. For now we have to work a little bit better for Ajax’s
development. In this state, the developers still has a lot of things
to understand to build a highly efficient Ajax based website. There
are so many pitfalls in Ajax and one flaw will mean an unsecured
website open for all hackers to exploit.

MooTools – A Review
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8057/mootools-a-review.html
MooTools is an open source JavaScript framework that evolved from the
simple function called moo.fx. The developers of moo.fx have slowly
expanded this simple function into a fully functional framework. As of
this writing, the framework is on its 1.2.0 version and has been
enjoying a good following along with other JavaScript frameworks.
MooTools is a lightweight framework. But do not think MooTools is
another lightweight framework that would eventually stack-up. This
framework is as lean as they could be. Instead of stacking up the
functions and lines, MooTools divide the codes by developing functions
in small code bases.

Enhancing JSON Security
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8058/enhancing-json-security.html
More and more Ajax developers are choosing JSON for their data
transfer instead of XML. Although XML has been the pillar of Ajax (X
is for XML), JSON has become the choice of most developers because it
was particularly built for JavaScript. Compared to XML, JSON is
lighter and will work faster compared to XML. This lightweight
function enables Ajax based websites and applications to run faster.
The reason why JSON is very efficient in data transmission is its
ability to function in itself. By this function we mean that JSON has
the ability to “EXECUTE” without the aid of other functions. XML is
only a format which will be used to transmit data and files, but JSON
is very effective in terms self execution.

AJAX in a White Box
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8059/ajax-in-a-white-box.html
We have already laid out some of the loopholes that could be used by
different hackers. In this article we will take a look at a very basic
hack that could be done even by none-developers and how to prevent it.
Personally, the biggest problem for any Ajax based developer is the
transparency of the source code. To understand this let us take a look
at different online applications that runs in a different language. An
HTML application for example will only show you a source code with the
input box and nothing else. That information is useless for hackers
since it just translates a very small part of what they see. An HTML
based application securely covers its source code and shows
practically nothing. A hacker will probably use a sniffer (network
traffic analyzer) but it will just show up some information on what
server is used. In that point, a hacker may already create a hacking
script but hackers will still have a long way to go through just to
infiltrate an HTML-based website.

Activating SOAP using Ajax
http://www.fordevr.com/Link-Details-8060/activating-soap-using-ajax.html
Any business transactions who want nothing more than security, speed
and accuracy of application use SOAP for information transportation
between applications. Using HTTP, developers are able to use the
internet and more specifically, the browsers to ensure that the
application and information transfer will never require more than a
stable internet connection. Based on current technologies today, SOAP
web services is stronger than ever because of the advantages it
ensures. The development of Ajax development techniques made it even
better for SOAP web based services. SOAP uses XML for data transfer
which is a very smart choice. As a universal data mark-up XML could
practically be integrated to any browser with the full security you
can expect from any mark-up protocol.

Client Side vs. Server Side Frameworks

disadvantage which will be appealing to different types of developers.
In this article we take a look at these two general classifications of
Ajax based frameworks. Some will see this as a debate since it has the
same goal but each of this type of frameworks only cater to specific

XOAD – PHP Based Ajax Framework

Here is another server-side framework for Ajax that has been developed
for sometime now. This framework was last updated November 2005 but
still holds great relevance in building Ajax based websites until
today. Why? Because among the many server-side frameworks out there,
few of them actually caters to PHP and XOAD is a rare few that has
been proven to work for many years now. XOAD used to be called NAJAX.
With the changed name, the framework came out with better
