*Further Information*

*Chapter 4 introduces Ajax and discusses Ajax support in the Rails framework. Ajax is a web technique to transfer XML data between a browser and a server asynchronously. Ajax is implemented using XMLHttpRequest, XML and DOM. XMLHttpRequest is supported as an ActiveX object in Internet Explorer 6 and as a native window object in IE7. The Prototype library provides support for Ajax in Ruby on Rails. We shall create a database search application to list catalog entries for a specified section. We shall also compare with the Ajax support in Java and PHP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]*
