    it can be used with just about anything. It just uses javascript on the client side to communicate and transfer data from server side thus making it appear interactively without page refreshes. Lots of sites use it. check out ajaxian.com for some good ajax resources

    Yes, AJAX is javascript and it's run clientside to get info from the server. Doesn't care what the server is running so long as it can make a request and get an answer

    Ajax is great because it doesnt do post backs to servers. .Net uses Atlas to do Ajax. I know, I know, another Microsoft "hack" according to you PHP people ;)

    Like DHTML, LAMP and SPA, Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a term that refers to the use of a group of technologies together....................
    Pros
    --------Interactivity
    Cons
    --------Usability
    --------Response-time concerns

    Ajax is used in alot of application now a days, example gmail, yahoo-mail, msn-live.

    Ajax big advantage is that the user does not need to reload the page everytime an action is made. If you look at domainsbot everytime the action "keytyped" is made, a list of webpage matching the "input letters" is passed by the server back to the page making it available on the fly without having the reload at each change.

    A disavantage to using Ajax is that the "Back" button is often a "headache" for the programmers, since they lose the state of what they were doing.

    Ajax is a mix of javascript, xml, xhtml and css (not a teachnolgy but a group of technologie together - as rahulm said). In normal ASP you can use XMLHttp in order to exchange data between server-side(ASP) and client-side(Javascript).

    I would recommend using an asp.net framework (such as Atlas) rather than coding it in asp.

    This site is completely proprietary coding and ajax is now used (I believe in ratings.) The answers here are good about ajax and I think that it's a buzzword often misunderstood and thought of as the solution as opposed to icing on a cake that already needs to be well designed and constructed.
