AjaxLine

Kevin Hoffman post an artyicle in which hhe describe how write simple Volta application. He writes:

«This is a deliberately oversimplified example. I typically hate oversimplified examples, but I think most people reading this blog will be able to extrapolate the useful bits from this sample out into practical uses. Also, Volta is still a CTP and subject to radical change in the future, so I'm not so worried about conforming to best practices yet, since there are none :)

In a typical Ajax application, your goal is often to have the user click something. In response, JavaScript goes out and (through the magic of XML HTTP Requests) obtains data and potentially modifies data on a server as well. Using the returned data, the JavaScript can then directly manipulate the HTML DOM to make it appear to the end user as though things just dynamically happened in a manner very similar to a traditional desktop application.»
