More ways to skin ajax

August 4, 2007 5:36 PM  | Javascript | 0 Comments

Today I learned that there is more than one way to implement Ajax, namely:

  • using a hidden frame
  • using a hidden iFrame
  • calling ActiveXObject() for IE6 or earlier
  • calling XMLHttpRequest() for all other browsers
  • using a third party library like zXML or DWR
  • creating dynamic images by using new Image() on the fly
  • dynamic script loading by using document.createElement("script")

The book I am reading is called Professional Ajax.
