AJAX AJAX Stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. It Is Not A AJAX AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is not a programming language rather than it is a way of using existing standards to make more interactive web applications. To understand the AJAX application let us consider the standard HTTP transaction process. Whenever the client connects to server, the client sends request to server and server sends response to the client. After that client and server close their connection. After closing connection the client renders the document and this may include running some JavaScript. In an Ajax application, the JavaScript code then communicates with the server behind the scene. This communication with the server takes place asynchronously and transparently to the user. Data is exchanged with the server without the need for page reload. This process is accomplished with a special kind of HTTP request. Ajax is something which bridges the gap between the functionality and interactivity. It is a technique for crating interactive applications. It makes the web pages interactive, increases speed and usability and better user experience. Features of Ajax: 1. It enables in developing rich internet applications. 2. It enables dynamic web application development. 3. It improves the performance of the web application. 4. Here no plug in is required. 5. It provides real time updates. Components of Ajax: 1. HTML and CSS for marking up and to give style to the components of the site. 2. Client side scripting language (JavaScript) for dynamic display and interact with the information presented. 3. XMLHttp request object for exchanging data asynchronously with the web servers. 4. XML for transferring data. Ajax provides new information from server without refreshing. Here the JavaScript makes a query to the server. The server returns the XML to reformat XML in place on existing screen. Ajax is a pattern for building applications on browser. JavaScript is used to control the display of elements. It asynchronously request and retrieve data from remote servers. XML is used to send numerical or text style data to the browser. Then JavaScript is used to extract data from the XML. Then HTML and CSS is used to mark up and style the page. JavaScript manipulates this. Issues related to Ajax: 1. User does not know that updates will occur. 2. User does not notice an update. 3. User cannot find the updated information. 4. Unexpected changes in focus. Some pros and cons of Ajax: Pros: 1. Ajax allows the web application to interaction with the data on the server. 2. For office style applications user’s data is stored on a reliable server accessible from any web browser. 3. It makes the web application more and more real application. Cons: 1. It is very tough to make compatible to all browsers. 2. Should have low latency connection into the server. 3. Can be server intensive. 4. Limited capabilities like multimedia and interaction with web-cams, printers and real time graphics. 5. Much waiting time for log in. 6. Problems with forward and backward buttons and bookmarks. 7. Not easy for low skilled raw developers. 8. Too many codes make the browser slow. 9. Everybody cannot do it. Steps for setting up Ajax transaction: 1. Create an XMLHttp request object. 2. Set up the request’s on ready change function. 3. Open the request. 4. Send the request. An Ajax transaction involves the client sending an asynchronous HTTP request and the server responding with XML. Client processes the resulting XML document tree. Ajax applications run entirely on the client except when they need to access data on the server. Ajax applications can treat the server as a database. Well written Ajax applications running with a fast internet connection can be as nice to use as traditional applications. Ajax is a broad group of technologies that can be used to implement a web application that communicates with server in the background without interfering the current state of the page. Ajax application has changed the dynamic web applications functionalities. Some popular Ajax frameworks are- JQuery, ASP.NET AJAX, Spry framework, Dojo Toolkit, angular JS etc. a PHP Ajax framework is able to deal with database, search data and build pages and publish the pages or return data to the XMLHttpRequest object. Quicknet is an Ajax framework that provides secure data transmission and uses PHP on server side. Xajax uses only XML format on server side. Sajax framework provides easy integration of function. .

Hi I am James (Mckenzie) Stanton Thinker / Designer / Engineer / Director / Executive / Artist / Human / Practitioner / Gardner / Builder / and much more... Born in Essex, United Kingdom and survived a few hair raising moments and learnt digital from the ground up. Ok enough of the pleasantries I have been working in the design field since 1999 from the Falmouth School of Art and onwards to the RCA, and many companies. Ok. less about me and more about what I have seen… Today we are going to cover - SCREENS CONCEPTS - DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - WHY ASSETS LIBRARIES - CODE LIBRARIES - COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION I know, I know, I know. That's all good and well, but what does this all mean to a company like mine? We are about to see a massive change in consumer behavior so let's get ready.

  • Javascript Hijacking Brian Chess, Yekaterina Tsipenyuk O'neil, Jacob West
    JavaScript Hijacking Brian Chess, Yekaterina Tsipenyuk O'Neil, Jacob West March 12, 2007 Summary An increasing number of rich Web applications, often called AJAX applications, make use of JavaScript as a data transport mechanism. This paper describes a vulnerability we term JavaScript Hijacking, which allows an unauthorized party to read sensitive data contained in JavaScript messages. The attack works by using a <script> tag to circumvent the Same Origin Policy enforced by Web browsers. Traditional Web applications are not vulnerable because they do not use JavaScript as a data transport mechanism. We analyzed the 12 most popular AJAX frameworks, including 4 server-integrated toolkits – Direct Web Remoting (DWR), Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX (a.k.a. Atlas), XAJAX and Google Web Toolkit (GWT) -- and 8 purely client-side libraries -- Prototype, Script.aculo.us, Dojo, Moo.fx, jQuery, Yahoo! UI, Rico, and MochiKit. We determined that among them only DWR 2.0 implements mechanisms for preventing JavaScript Hijacking. The rest of the frameworks do not explicitly provide any protection and do not mention any security concerns in their documentation. Many programmers are not using any of these frameworks, but based on our findings with the frameworks, we believe that many custom-built applications are also vulnerable. An application may be vulnerable if it: • Uses JavaScript as a data transfer format • Handles sensitive data We advocate a two-pronged mitigation approach that allows applications to decline malicious requests and prevent attackers from directly executing JavaScript the applications generate. 1. Introduction1 Although the term “Web 2.0” does not have a rigorous definition, it is commonly used in at least two ways.

  • Adobe Spry and Dreamweaver ADOBE SPRY and DREAMWEAVER (SUP)
    Adobe Spry and Dreamweaver ADOBE SPRY AND DREAMWEAVER (SUP) The Adobe Spry Framework for Ajax (Spry v.1.6.1 is the latest release of Spry) Spry is a JavaScript-base framework that enables the rapid development of Ajax-powered web pages. Ajax is technology. It is a term commonly used to define a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. Spry uses JavaScript, but acts like an extension of HTML and CSS (so anyone with HTML and CSS can use it). Spry can be used with both client-side and server-side technologies. • Spry is implemented as a set of JavaScript libraries. To add Spry to your page, the user includes the JavaScript library that contains the Spry features as needed, and then deploys that JavaScript file to the web site along with other page. • Spry has three basic components: Spry Data, Spry Widgets and Spry Effects. They can be used together or independently of one another. • No browser plug-ins or server-side modules are required for Spry to work. • Dreamweaver CS4 has features that ease the development of Spry pages but Spry itself is completely tool independent. Any code editor can be used to develop Spry pages (Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, Notepad…). Sidebar AJAX Other Frameworks similar to Spry: Google, Yahoo, jQuery, MooTools, Dojo, etc Spry provides developers with easy to implement tools (Spry Data, Spry Widgets and Spry Effects) Widgets examples Validation widgets Menu Bars (Vertical and Horizontal) Sliding Panels Tooltip Effects examples Show/Hide: Fade
