For almost every situation under the sun, moon, and stars above you will want to use Asynchronous Ajax -- that is just a given. There are, however, some situations where Synchronous Ajax is mandatory, so it can be worthwhile getting a basic handle on how this technology works.

Somehow synchronous AJAX (SJAX?) always seems like a bad idea. What if your server is unreachable or fails to respond for some reason? the user will be stuck with a frozen browser and unable to proceed at all. The very concept of AJAX is to allow the user to continue with his browsing while data is being exchanged behind the scenes. SJAX defeats this purpose. Wouldn't recommend this method to anyone.
