Each of them provides a slightly different technique catering to the skills of some Java developers. But if you have tried developing an application or creating a website using Google Web Toolkit or GWT, the gist of the idea is basically there. After all, GWT is practically the leader in Java frameworks that aims in developing Ajax based websites. GWT literally translates your Java coding into JavaScript so that it could be http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15635.html In this tutorial I will show you how to create simple AJAX file upload system using PHP and JavaScript. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15625.html One of the best thing about the hype created by AJAX was the reaction of other developers. Of course, there are individuals they are willing to build an alternative for every hype which is usually considered as a rip-off of the original hyped programming. Such programs frequently fail even before it gets started. For example, just look at different web-based office applications since zoho.com made a mark. Though lots of alternatives are available, almost none came even close http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15624.html Any business transactions who want nothing more than security, speed and accuracy of application use SOAP for information transportation between applications. Using HTTP, developers are able to use the internet and more specifically, the browsers to ensure that the application and information transfer will never require more than a stable internet connection. Based on current technologies today, SOAP web services is stronger than ever because of the advantages it ensures. The development of Ajax development techniques made it even better for SOAP web based services. SOAP uses XML for data transfer which is a very smart choice. As a universal data mark-up XML could practically be integrated to any browser with the full security you can expect from any mark-up protocol http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15623.html Planning to develop an efficient Ajax based application is easier with Prototype.js. This framework was developed specifically to simplify almost any Ajax based function. It is MIT licensed framework could easily be integrated to other frameworks. To start using the framework it has to be referenced first in your webpage. The following code is used to activate prototype.js. Usually this is referenced in an HTML webpage http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15557.html Today we will take a look at a few AjaxControlToolkit tricks. If you have been working with ASP.NET long enough you know how important this function is to your Ajax based application. In fact, I have been looking online and most of the things I see related to the latest ASP.NET release are concerns regarding AjaxControlToolkit. Without further ado – here they are: http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15556.html Exploring the Forms Designer generated code - As you create a new project in the Visual Basic, the IDE generally automatically adds lots of lines of code on its own. Visual Basic 2005 comes with an option to skip over this behavior of the Visual Basic IDE. The default option comes with this behavior enabled http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15555.html If you are starting out in your first Ajax based program, one of the biggest challenges that you have to face is to let your users remember not to hit the back button. Most of the time, Ajax based programs does not like the back button. Unfortunately, Ajax does not have that functionality in bookmarking the previous page so that it could be reloaded anytime. With this development or some call it a disability; it is quite clear that today’s browsers were built without thinking http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15554.html We have already laid out some of the loopholes that could be used by different hackers. In this article we will take a look at a very basic hack that could be done even by none-developers and how to prevent it. Personally, the biggest problem for any Ajax based developer is the transparency of the source code. To understand this let us take a look at different online applications that runs in a different language. An HTML application for example will only show you a source code with the input box and nothing else. That information is useless for hackers since it just translates a very small part of what they see. An HTML based application securely covers its source code and shows practically nothing. A hacker will probably use a sniffer (network traffic analyzer) but it will just show up some information on what server is used. In that point, a hacker may already create a hacking script but hackers will still have a long way to go through just to infiltrate an HTML-based website. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15551.html VB.NET 2005 Free Training : Event Handling In Visual Basic .NET 2005 - Introduction to Event Handling, One of the most useful capabilities of the OOP Languages is their inbuilt ability to be aware of a large number of events like MouseOver, MouseClick, and so on so that we can write codes to react to any event that we are interested. This is made possible by the rich set of classes that have been built in the .NET Framework. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15550.html Developing an Ajax based application with minimal JavaScript coding is possible with the use of VS 2005, ASP.NET and a simple but powerful library called Anthem.NET. This open source library might not be popular but it has been given a pretty good ranking as it provides any developer the ability to build an Ajax based website without using too much Ajax. As you may have already noticed, it uses a lot of frameworks and software development tools to compensate with the minimal use of JavaScript. To use Anthem.NET you need to fire it up first in ASP.NET. Basically, you will just have to use the libraries DLL as a reference point to make it work. It is really simple at first glance but apparently Antem.NET’s DLL is not precompiled first. Make sure that you compile the project carefully as the DLL could get extracted in different places. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15549.html One of the biggest challenges of any developer is to enable the webpage to all visitors as fast as possible. Unfortunately, our knowledge always precedes our available technology. Although we can create very interactive websites with the ability to watch videos while having to look for information on the webpage itself, it requires advanced technologies that every one cannot afford. Until today, there are still people who rely on dial-up so that they can access the net. Most of today’s websites are optimized for broadband speed but the broadband speed still needs some work so that people can access the website faster. Although Ajax already uses lesser bandwidth, the fact that we can even make it faster opens up so many possibilities in web development and more information for users http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15548.html Since Ajax has become the focus of today’s web and application development. A lot of tools have been developed to cater to this programming technique. Although it has been dubbed to be a very challenging technique to master, it all goes down to three languages to build an efficient Ajax website: JavaScript, HTML and XML. Some have preferred to use JSON instead of XML but an efficient mark-up language is all that Ajax needs to perform well. The efficiency it brings is almost second to none and the interface an Ajax application could do is beyond par http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15547.html Cross Site Script or XSS is one of the popular methods for attacking not only to Ajax based websites but almost any other website that accepts user inputs. Even before Ajax was conceptualized, this attack was already practiced by different hackers. There was one hack that was used in 2005 wherein MySpace.com was targeted. It uses a simple JavaScript function that could be embedded in user’s website and others. Once they view the webpage, the “My Hero” link is changed to the name of the hacker. It is practically a pyramid hack since anyone who sees the profile became the host of the hack. The code was actually posted by the builder of the hack in possible reparation for what he did. It is just a simple JavaScript that could be embedded in any website. It just does not hack any information, it practically takes over every function it wants to. Here are some practices that will prevent future attacks using XSS http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15546.html In a simple HTML website, developers will always have the luxury of keeping sensitive information to themselves. When you log in to the admin page of the website, the information that you see is solely for those who have proper authorization. Without username and password, hackers will have a really hard time figuring out how to access the information based on what they can extract from the webpage. On the other hand, an Ajax based website does not have the same luxury. When an Ajax http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15545.html Personally, one of the simplest yet amazing web tools today is the RSS. This tool could be found everywhere – in blogs, news, podcasts and videos. Users could even configure Google to alert them via RSS with the keywords they prefer. In fact, Google Reader is an elaborate web based program that gathers all the RSS feeds preferred by the user. You do not have to go back and forth to the webpage for update. The news is sent directly to your mail, or to your reader depending on your preferences. On the other hand, Ajax is an emerging technology that has practically influenced all facets of web technology. Fortunately enough, it has also influenced RSS opening doors to almost infinite possibilities. When a developer is very creative with Ajax, the developer could do so many things and RSS could be recreated to a new life. When we combine RSS and Ajax, we end up with an Ajax based feed http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15544.html Undoubtedly, XMLHttpRequest is the most important function in Ajax. With this function, developers could easily transfer XML files from the client to server. XMLHttpRequest can single-handedly transform your application from a simple website to an Ajax based website. Its asynchronous function makes Ajax one of the coolest website and application technique today. Unfortunately, some developers have used it rather more than they should. Of course when a good thing is overused, it becomes really bad. The case of XMLHttpRequest is no different. When the function is overused it tends to overlap over some of the important things a website should have. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15543.html It is already an established problem in Ajax that developers would still need to develop almost two types of applications if they wanted to build an online application good for Mozilla and Internet Explorer. Because of this struggle, developers would have to build almost two different applications that will require a lot more than the usual time for application development. The end result however, is well worth it. A highly efficient Ajax based application does not only provide eye catching features but could easily provide a highly effective application with processing speed that almost rivals any simple web-based application. Transmitting only the data needed in the application for Ajax has lessened the bandwidth requirements for an Ajax based application. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15542.html NetBiscuits is one of the known developers in mobile technology. Based in Germany, this development company has made a mark in mobile development because of their platforms that enable developers build their applications. From downloads to online applications for mobile phones, NetBiscuits were able to integrate commercial use of their applications with service. By injecting advertisements in the users’ mobile phones whenever they use their services, NetBiscuits and the developer’s applications have advertisements wherein they could easy earn money through that scheme. Other’s have built an online store using NetBiscuits and have earned considerable success through mobile download stores. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15541.html Even with all the flaws that we will find in an Ajax based website, there are security measures that we could do to ensure security in our website. Before we go to different security measures, let us first note one of the biggest problems in an Ajax based website and application: Source Code Availability. Some call it “Overly Granular Server API” referring to the API built from the server which provides little to nothing in terms of security. Almost every hack that I have seen related to Ajax stems from this security flaw. In simple words, the biggest problem in Ajax is the availability of source code even to regular users. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15540.html MooTools is an open source JavaScript framework that evolved from the simple function called moo.fx. The developers of moo.fx have slowly expanded this simple function into a fully functional framework. As of this writing, the framework is on its 1.2.0 version and has been enjoying a good following along with other JavaScript frameworks. MooTools is a lightweight framework. But do not think MooTools is another lightweight framework that would eventually stack-up. This framework is as lean as they could be. Instead of stacking up the functions and lines, MooTools divide the codes by developing functions in small code bases. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15539.html Apart from being used in complicated RIAs with colorful interfaces, Ajax is also used for a more practical use such as data control and interaction. There are functions that any developer could use to display data in an Ajax way which does not only look good but has efficient functions which could not be seen in HTML based sites http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15538.html Among the JavaScript library released, few have been recognized to be as effective as jQuery. This lightweight library has been the subject of different discussions since it was launched in 2006. Basically, jQuery has the ability to flawlessly string together JavaScript together with HTML. Because of its effectiveness, there have different types of lightweight applications and plug-ins launched using jQuery. Ajax based websites that offers simple interface would virtually work together using jQuery’s simple interface. Because of language’s popularity several books have been published to cater to the need of the increasing popularity of the program. Even though the library is relatively young, the response is almost overwhelming. Budding developers looking for information online might end up reading a highly complex article that it almost confuses the developer where to start and where to end http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15537.html Thanks to open-source, One can have practically everything for free in a computer. Although some advises against this because of possible viruses and spywares, you just have to look for a trusted source while sticking to your firewalls and anti-viruses to ensure you have a good program. In my opinion, open-source (free) frameworks are one of the best ways to revolutionize web and applications development. Think about it: there are thousands or even millions of developers in the world and only a handful of them could actually have their hands on licensed frameworks. Without the open-source frameworks, they cannot possibly build better application and would have to stick to very traditional programs. Consumers will also have to wait and pay for things they might not use at all. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15536.html InfiView is one of the Ajax based application offering a highly interactive platform for building maps or charts. The output made with this application could either be presented with the same application or could be integrated in a website. InfiView is another application built by Bindows – one of the world’s leaders in the development of Ajax based applications for enterprises and business. Instead of developing codes, Bindows is more known to develop Ajax based GUIs which is literally a challenging feat for any Ajax based developers. With Bindows you are literally developing an application that does not need any downloads at all. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15535.html At first glance, Ajax is definitely one of the most complicated web techniques out there. The combination of JavaScript, XML and HTML might be just too much for budding developers, literally requiring months of development for a simple Ajax application. Because of its complication, developers have been backing out from Ajax and looking for some alternatives. Fortunately, alternates have come out. One of them is AHAH wherein an HTML version of Ajax is proposed. AHAH has almost the same output but with simpler coding. Another version called FJAX has been circling around the web as it uses Flash to transfer XML files faster with efficient cross browser capabilities. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15534.html When Ajax was introduced to the early and experienced developers, only JavaScript developers rejoiced because that is the main programming language of Ajax. Others who wanted to jump in the Ajax bandwagon would just have to study the language from the scratch. Among the developers, those who already knew Java were struggling to cope up. Not that they do not know the language but their knowledge are just in the gateway to know something but not everything. They were forced to leave Java and move http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15533.html Ajax is still going strong and the hype will never go down unless a new and a better technique is coming up. So far, what we have seen are variation of Ajax – FJAX, AHAX and SAJAX. Although they are innovation by themselves, we cannot help but thinking that these innovations happened because of Ajax. We just have to wait a little bit for the next big thing. For now we have to work a little bit better for Ajax’s development. In this state, the developers still has a lot of things to understand to build a highly efficient Ajax based website. There are so many pitfalls in Ajax and one flaw will mean an unsecured website open for all hackers to exploit. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15532.html AHAX, an HTML version of Ajax provides almost the same functionality however, does not have the really cool features of JavaScript. It goes to use HTML so that it could render XML in the webpage. It is really simple and looked better compared to simple HTML but I think it defeats the purpose of being a great alternate to Ajax since it does not offer the exact RIA that we are looking for in Ajax. Now another alternate to Ajax is steadily getting a buzz. I checked them out and it is pretty impressive when you take a look at their example. Although I have only seen the theoretical side of this programming technique, it looks very promising. FJAX stands for Flash JavaScript and XML and although it replaces the A for Asynchronous, it still offers the same behavior you would expect from an Ajax based website. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15531.html More and more Ajax developers are choosing JSON for their data transfer instead of XML. Although XML has been the pillar of Ajax (X is for XML), JSON has become the choice of most developers because it was particularly built for JavaScript. Compared to XML, JSON is lighter and will work faster compared to XML. This lightweight function enables Ajax based websites and applications to run faster. The reason why JSON is very efficient in data transmission is its ability to function in itself. By this function we mean that JSON has the ability to “EXECUTE” without the aid of other functions. XML is only a format which will be used to transmit data and files, but JSON is very effective in terms self execution http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15530.html The back button and behavior is one of the biggest challenges to any developer. In simple HTML pages, the back button preserves the last state of the website and even the things you have written there. Unfortunately, this reality is not possible in Ajax. Developers have to toil hard and rough so that the last state of the website is preserved. In a regular setting, the whole webpage reloads whenever the back button is pressed. Some may say back button is not necessary anymore http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15529.html A very smart practice in coding is to test if the function will have the ability to perform in a particular browser. This is especially true in Ajax-based websites as developers have to face constant browser incompatibilities. Objects could easily be a problem when everything is in place for a particular browser but it will just falter since development of the program has not considered other browsers. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15528.html PageFlakes.com has some of the most amazing feature that you cannot find in most websites: a widget container. Any HTML code that you have could be easily loaded through the container provided by Pageflakes.com. Although there are already tons of widgets in their website, you can easily create one of your own. For example, the embed code in YouTube.com could easily be applied in the codes that you have. Codes that could be integrated in MySpace.com such as simple casual games could also be applied in the widget container. As a developer, you can also offer a widget container in your website so that users could upload an application through an embedded code from a different website. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/15434.html In this article I will try to summarize the basics of Ajax and PHP communication. At the and you can find a full working Ajax - PHP example http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14822.html In this article I will try to summarize the basics of Ajax and PHP communication. At the and you can find a full working Ajax - PHP example http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14798.html AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) applications are constantly looking for ways to increase their performance. One obvious way to do this is to store more data locally, since data can be loaded from a local file much more quickly than it can be retrieved from a remote website. In the past, the data storage solution has been to store data in a cookie, but cookies are limited in size to 4KB per domain. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14543.html Create an Ajax autosuggest/autocomplete search form with results from database by following this tutorial http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14528.html The method for getting information through an implicit request can be applied not only for technical dictionary. Have you ever wondered about the double underlined links in such projects as hotscripts.com and devarticles.com? This is context-dependent advertising based on IntelliTXT engine from Vibrant Media (www.vibrantmedia.com). When the mouse cursor points to such a link an advertisement window appears. This technology is referred to as in-text advertising. This method is also increasingly used on news portals. The main page contains only the news headings. Yet when the user puts a mouse cursor over the heading a short description appears. Thus the main page can hold a lot more news. The visitor sees the headings and all he/she has to do to get a short summary is to browse through the items with a mouse cursor. Let us now look into how contextual help can be implemented with AJAX. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14444.html On the surface, Ajax is the acronym for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. However, the acronym doesn’t describe an object, but a technique for web development. The definition incorporates a suite of technologies working in conjunction for web development. These techniques help produce more responsive and interactive web applications. Increased interactivity is required by web applications since so much of the marketplace and the services they require are currently electronic http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14421.html The Capabilities of Ajax The Importance of Ajax on The Java Platform If you have used Flickr or Gmail, you should be well aware of the fact that new web applications are becoming prevalent on the web. Many of these applications are prominently seen in programs like Flickr, and you are probably wandering what makes them distinct from traditional web applications. The primary difference between traditional web application http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14367.html Introduction Ajax is currently one of the major forces in web development. It’s an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It describes a set of technologies that work together with JavaScript to create more dynamic and interactive web applications. It is not a specific product, but its strategy is currently being incorporated in much product development. Through Ajax, web applications behave more like desktop applications, http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14354.html Ajax programming is one of the most exciting new technologies in recent history. Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) allows a web page to refresh a small portion of its data from a web server, rather than being forced to reload and redraw the entire page as in traditional web programming. Since they can make frequent, small updates, web applications written with Ajax programming can present user interfaces that are more like desktop applications, which are more natural and intuitive http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13943.html Step-by-step tutorial to understand the XMLHttpRequest object and how to use it from JavaScript. Examples with text, XML and JSON files. The tutorial is completed by demo pages that you can use as templates for you own website. Plus a specific JSON tutorial a very simple to use format http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13641.html Learn how to use AJAX in order to process and validate your forms. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13620.html Interface Design For Ajax Looking at Ajax From a Design Perspective Just as with all new technologies, the usage and adoption of Ajax must become widespread if the program is to be a success. In addition to this, there is almost always the possibility that the technology will be used in a way that its inventors never intended. The World Wide Web is not beyond this phenomenon, and there are a number of Internet http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13609.html Introduction One of the major concerns of information technology (IT) in the present historical moment is making the Web and web applications as efficient as possible. This insures a business’ competitive edge in this era where operating systems and applications are increasingly accessed and/or stored on the Internet. Web applications that can function on a variety of platforms or in a variety of contexts have been difficult to attain. Resource Specification Date Added: May 5, 2007 L http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13608.html Introduction Ajax is a combination of technologies that increase web page usability. It is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Ajax performs its functions by encoding all requests between the server and the browser in the common programming language of JavaScript. Communication between server and browser in a standardized language like JavaScript and the Ajax XMLHttpRequest object allow for page updates to occur asynchronously through http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13607.html Ajax at a Glance Introduction Ajax is a system that is comprised of a number of different technologies, and some of these include DOM, HTML, JavaScript, and DHTML. These technologies together are used to create an approach that will allow users to transform static web interfaces into those which are highly interactive. To fully understand the power of Ajax, you must be able to first understand how these various technology http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13606.html How To Get Started With Ajax Ajax Basics Ajax is an acronym which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is the method of using the XMLHttpRequest object to facilitate communication with scripts that are server sided. It can send data in a variety of different formats, and it can receive data as well. Some of the formats which make up Ajax include HTML, XML, and basic text files http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13605.html How To Pick an Ajax Framework Understanding the Ajax Framework In the last year, nearly 500 Ajax frameworks have been created. Picking the proper framework is extremely important, because it will determine the success of the features, maintenance, and development time for your project. There are a number of questions you will want to ask yourself when it comes to choosing the proper framework. If you are looking for ... http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/13604.html How To Use Remote Scripting With Ajax Implementing the Protocol Remote scripting is a technique that permits JavaScript to make a request for data via a server without needing to refresh the web page. This basic definition describes everything you need to know about remote scripting. The other factors which go into creating a streamlined web application will draw on the standard methods of altering the DOM, or Docum
