AJAX Without Javascript?

Let's face it, AJAX is a very cool programming trick. First popularized by the folks at Google, it's now mainstream and can be used across all the popular browsers.

However, the big downside of AJAX is that it's too techie. A lot of Javascript coding is needed to perform even the simplest task. Need to update a single number on the screen without forcing a refresh of the entire page? You can use AJAX - except it will take you dozens of lines of complex Javascript code. Enough to make a busy programmer cross-eyed with frustration.

That's where the AJAX built into Aestiva Array comes to the rescue. (Because, you know, we at Aestiva can't abide overly-complex stuff of any kind.) To counter the technical difficulties, we built the AJAX capabilities directly into our engine. To perform an AJAX operation you don't have to write a single line of Javascript. You don't even need to know how to program Javascript. You just have to know HTML, something all Array programmers already know, and an HTML/OS tag called "AJAXRETURN."

How do you use it? Well, if you're familiar with HTML/OS it goes like this: Build an HTML Form. Link it to an overlay called AJAX. Then, at the end of your HTML/OS code in your overlay AJAX, use the tag AJAXRETURN to return to the page. Done. (For more information see the latest HTML/OS Reference)

Once again, Aestiva turns spaghetti into diamonds - or something like that. If you're an HTML/OS programmer - check it out.
