    Hi,

    Ajax is no longer a foreign term to the PHP developers. But I think on some point we faced problems integrating AJAX on our applications. Though AJAX frameworks make programmers life more easy, but I think in some point, we fill problems.

    Please share your experience, the problem you faced on AJAX or AJAX Framework like jQuery, MooTools as a base PHP programmer.

    If we do this, I think we can easily get rid of the problems we faced. If the problem is unsolved we can try to solve it.

    Regards

    I can totally relate to what your saying, I've got a few pointers that have helped me maintain AJAX in my apps.

    1. AJAX is an adon it should be used to make your aplications smoother and prettier.

    2. AJAX should not to be used as an integral part in the running of applications. (we invented PHP, .net, etc for that).

    3. AJAX is not the be all and end all. Dont over use it.

    These are just my observations, but im welcome to feed back.

    Regards

    Ajax can get a bit annoying. One thing you should make sure is to put in HCI ques when your making a XMLHttpRequest as the user does not see anything happening. Like a loading gif.

    I find web based ajax apps are a bit flimsy. If you do too much at the same time they just die. Take Yahoo Mail for example.
