ajax

lexi, this ajax stuff is so damn cool. i made up a demo of it this morning and now i am jealous that you get to work with it all the time.


for those of you not in the "know" ajax is the blending of technologies that makes gmail as fast and slick as it.

LOL, that is ok, i can't knit socks, i get frustrated. i don't like thinking while knitting.

anyways, ajax is something that would be awesome at e. because they can control the browser that is being used. I don't know what the intranet is like anymore but take the employee directory, instead of that little window that displayed the results we could have just had the results magically appear in the same spot without having more than one window. That would be cool and I can't even start to think about the cool things we could have done with something like the LERG.

Basically it makes webpages one step closer to regular applications.
