[SOLVED] Simple question: Can AJAX run in a browser that doesn't support Javascript?

[bobleny]

Just a simple question: Can AJAX run in a browser that doesn't support Javascript?

Another simple question: XML Compatible with all browsers, new and old?

[gabeg]

No, Javascript is what makes the requests to the page, and then displays with without reloading the entire page.

Thats what I suspected... I was hoping that some how the XML would make the Javascript a server side language...

 

I don't like to use any Javascript, because if the browser isn't capable of handling it then you run into problems. I do use it for things that wont be effected if Javascript is disabled or not supported. I also like to allow it as an OPTION rather than a requirement. So I might have a Javascript clock that gives up to the second time, or they click PHP clock, and then they get the time each time the page is reloaded....

 

Thanks for the response, I only wish you had better news.

 

Bye.

Everything I use ajax for is simply a feature for an easier time using my site, nothing that is a requirement. for example if you use it on a form, and use onsubmit in the form tag, simply return false on the javascript function that is called, and if javascript is disabled, it'll submit the form normally
