This article does not contain a single line of "Ajax". The author seems to be confusing Asynchronous page requests with "cool JavaScript effects".
To his credit, he admits his total lack of knowledge about the subject of his post. From the article:
-----------------------
The biggest problem (at least mine) is that we have so little examples on the internet to show us how it's done, with what, what exactly do we need etc. As I said, we see Ajax almost everywhere, we want it but we can't have it. Why? Well...not everyone knows Javascript. I don't know Javascript!! In fact...I hate it. It's way too complicated for me. So where can we find some Ajax examples?
-----------------------
So basically, he wants to do coding, without knowing how to code? To see how ridiculous this is, try reading the above, but changing "JavaScript" to "basic engineering principles" and Ajax to "skyscraper"
daniel replied ago:
AJAX is (by definition) just asynchronous GET and POST requests controlled through JavaScript (though technically it could be any language). We had cool JS effects before AJAX became big. In fact, the two are totally unrelated, just often found in conjunction with one-another.
Lowell Heddings replied ago:
People that don't know Javascript or Ajax just don't understand that there is a difference.
There's a similar set of people that don't understand that Ruby is a language and Rails is a framework.

How the hell could you vote for this? Like jimbojw said, it has nothing to do with [sic] Ajax.

I voted because I clipped one of the routines to my toolbox. The Ajax stuff is, well, yea... but some of the code is usable and cool.
