FAQ Topic - What is AJAX?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

AJAX is shorthand for Asynchronous Javascript And XML. The technology is
based on the XMLHttpRequest Object. It is also known as "Web 2.0".
At its simplest, it is the sending/retrieving of new data from the server
without changing URL's or reloading the current page.
