Alternate Ajax Techniques, Part 2
In the last installment of this series, you learned about dynamic script loading, which involves creating a element dynamically and using it load JavaScript from the server. To make that work, your browser had to be DOM-compliant. In Part 2, you'll learn how to use images and cookies to enable client-server communication even on older browsers that don't support the DOM.

AJAX from Scratch: Implementing Mutual Exclusion in JavaScript
This AJAX from Scratch series of articles describes fundamental techniques needed to develop AJAX Rich Internet Applications in JavaScript from scratch. Each article focuses on a particular (usually little-covered) aspect of developing browser-side functionality without the use of commercial or server-based frameworks. The techniques described are additionally illustrated in Gravy, a small, but real-world, example JavaScript library and application.

Against the Browser's Will: Make Mashups Talk Across Domains
With all the great Web service APIs out there today, making mashups to extend public Web-based apps is a new passion for many developers. But cross-domain restrictions, built into all major browsers, are an aggravating foe. Learn to use a PHP proxy or JSON to eliminate your mashup frustrations.

Mastering Ajax, Part 4: Exploiting DOM for Web response
The great divide between programmers (who work with back-end applications) and Web programmers (who spend their time writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) is long standing. However, the Document Object Model (DOM) bridges the chasm and makes working with both XML on the back end and HTML on the front end possible and an effective tool. In this article, Brett McLaughlin introduces the Document Object Model, explains its use in Web pages, and starts to explore its usage from JavaScript.

Swing or JavaServer Faces: Which to Choose?
This article is an introduction, positioning, and comparison of Swing and JavaServer Faces. It helps developers to decide which technology to use for a specific job and also explains how the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) helps to simplify application development with both technologies.

Professional Ajax: XML, XPath, and XSLT, Pt. 1
As the popularity of XML grew, web developers wanted to use the technology on both the serverand client-side, but only the former initially offered XML functionality. Starting with Internet Explorer 5.0 and Mozilla 1.0, Microsoft and Mozilla began to support XML through JavaScript in their browsers. Recently, Apple and Opera added some XML support to their browsers, albeit not to the extent that Microsoft and Mozilla have. Browser makers continue to broaden the availability of XML support with new features, giving web developers powerful tools akin to those formerly found only on the server. In this chapter, you will learn how to load and manipulate XML documents in an XML DOM object, use XPath to select XML nodes that meet certain criteria, and transform XML documents into HTML using XSLT.

AJAX and Mozilla XUL with JavaServer Faces
This article introduces a new open source project - Weblets - which can be found on the java.net website. The goal of this open source project is to provide JSF component writers with a facility that can serve resource files out of a Java archive (JAR), rather than serving them from the web application root file system. Unlike traditional web applications, which have statically configured URL mappings defined in web.xml, there is a need for dynamic configuration of URL mappings, based on the presence of a component library JAR. In essence, Weblets provide developers with an easy way to package web application resources in the same Java archive (JAR) that their implementation code resides in.

Using XML: A PHP Developer's Primer, Part 2
In the first part of this series, we took a look at how PHP 5 can be used to manipulate and parse XML files. In this installment, we are going to focus on Ajax, one of the most useful and topical applications of XML. Initially, we are going to introduce Ajax and learn how to use the XMLHTTP object provided by most modern web browsers to create a live email validation form. Then we will pick up where we left off with the theme of XML and introduce XSLT, which we will use to transform our library XML from the previous article into valid XHTML code.

Creating sortable lists with PHP and AJAX
You might have been in a situation before where you had a list of items in your database that needed to be output in a specific order. These items could be anything: perhaps a listing of your favourite movies or your favourite books. For whatever reason, you want them ordered in a custom way that can’t be determined automatically (such as alphabetical). This article covers the implementation of a system that lets you easily define the order of such a list.
