What is Ajax? Ajax is a term standing for 'Asynchronous Javascript and XML'. It is a technique, rather than a framework (such as Struts). The reason for the 'buzz' around both it and Web 2.0 is that it allows web pages to behave less like flat documents and more like dynamic GUI apps that users might expect from their desktop environments. Ajax techniques can be used for all recent browsers (including Internet Explorer and Netscape/Mozilla). It is already used by (among others) Microsoft (for it's Outlook web client) and Google (for its Maps and Mail applications). Moreinfo...

Eclipse is a free open-source Java environment available from http://eclipse.org . Eclipse is a Java program, but it uses a custom user interface toolkit that does not run on all platforms that supports Java 2. Check the web site for supported platforms. Eclipse requires a Java 2 runtime, so you need to install the Java 2 SDK first before installing Eclipse. You can download the SDK from http://java.sun.com/j2se/ . more info..

I’m going to show you a example in php and ajax to change the values of the dropdown’s options without refreshing the page. The values (options) of the dropdown are fetched from the database and the certain portion of the web pages is only refreshed without need to refresh the whole page. < >
