It isn't a very useful technique for use in authoring presentations.
Its usefulness comes from being able to get updated information for
part of a webpage either periodically (when the data is changing) or
in response to user entered data. Neither is all that likely to crop
up in a presentation.

can you recomend some tutorial or sample code?

Hi.
thanks for your answer, I basically jsut want to sue ajax to change
"pages"
like a photo gallery, just its webpages that contain text and images
Cheers

Since the data isn't going to be changing in the middle of the
presentation, there is little point in going back to the server each
time, its needless complication. I suggest using something like S5
instead.

Since you're trying to do something simple, I would avoid using an
AJAX framework that will give you masses of functionality and hide how
it works.

My favourite tutorial is Peter-Paul Koch's version (http://
www.quirksmode.org/js/xmlhttp.html)
Or you could check the AJAX pages of w3schools.
