AJAX

Asynchronous Javascript and XML describes a concept of exchanging data between server and client without the need to refresh a page. AJAX makes the web more dynamic and faster, leading it into a Web 2.0 age.

Opera 9.0 is fastest AJAX Browser

AJAX shifts more stress towards the client, namely your web browser. So which browser is the fastest AJAX client, Sean Kane asked and created a Javascript benchmark. Surprisingly, Opera 9.0 beats both, MS Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox, in terms of speed. By far!

The Random Number Generator and math engine slows down Firefox a lot. MS IE6 loses out on String manipulation functions and Layer movements.
