kev wood Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 From what i have been looking at up to now Ajax uses a lot of javascript for the requests sent to the server. If i am wrong please point this out. If a user of a site which uses Ajax to build and refresh sections of the page and they have javascript turned off what would be the outcome of the page that the user is able to view would the Ajax ignor this and still populate the page or would the page fail to display properly?

rhodesa Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML AJAX is done with Javascript, so if the person has JavaScript disabled, the page will not work. As a general rule of thumb, you should make the page work without JavaScript, then after you can add JavaScript/AJAX to make it more user friendly. If you do a lot of developing, there are 2 Firefox extensions that are very helpfull. The Web Developer toolbar and FireBug. One of the features in those plugins is the ability to switch JavaScript on/off on the fly. It's pretty convenient.

haku Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 You should definitely download firebug as well. Its the single best extension for firefox for developers, especially if you are developing javascript/ajax. It will make your life a million times easier as you figure out how it works. I can't recommend it enough! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/110565-just-starting-quick-question/#findComment-567770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
