Chapter 2: Client-Side Techniques
with Smarter JavaScript
It is said that one picture is worth a thousand words. And so is a
well-written piece of code, we would say. You will get plenty of
both, while building the foundations for your future AJAX-enabled
applications, in this chapter and the next.
Hopefully, the first chapter has developed your interest in AJAX
well enough that you will endure a second chapter with lots of
theory to be learned. On the other hand, if you found the first
exercise too challenging, be assured that this time we will advance
a bit slower. We will learn the theory in parts by going through
many short examples. In this chapter, we will meet client AJAX
technologies, which include:
-
JavaScript
-
The JavaScript DOM
-
Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS)
-
The
XMLHttpRequest
object
-
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
You will learn how to make these
components work together smoothly, and form a strong foundation for
your future AJAX applications. You will see how to implement
efficient error handling techniques, and how to write code
efficiently. Chapter 3 will complete the foundations by presenting
the techniques and technologies that you use on the server; in our
case, PHP, MySQL, and others.
