The limit of Ajax
Is there is a point where one uses too much AJAX. When a site reaches this point it breaks the way a browser operated, by destroying the back/forward button, printing functions, and other basic browser concepts. AJAX to us is another tool that can be used to make the browsing experience better in some areas, but when used in comparison to an all Flash site things start to annoy me. Now that;s not to say applications like Writely fall under this category. Writely is an online web application/service and is a tool to be used. However when you get into sites that are all AJAX or Flash like every musician or band website out there, this start to bother me because as stated above it breaks the basic functionality of a browser.
A great example a an excellent use of AJAX is during a file upload process. AJAX brings a new element to this functionality, by allowing us to monitor the progress of an uploading file. An example of this neat enhancement can Sean Treadway’s blog. As posted before dhtmlgoodies has a great library of AJAX and Web 2.0 effects that can be used to accent your site. Obviously this is just our opinion, and we know there are a lot of people out there that have the opposite feelings which I respect. We have tried in our blog we have tried to use as much ajax enhancement as possible. Thanks to wordpress and and bloxpress and all other developers, who could bring us this wonderful plugins. Please give your suggestion on the limt of ajax, and how much of ajax enhancement should be used .
