XMLHTTPRequest object has both server-side and client-side versions. Many people are familiar with the server-side version, which allows you to communicate with another server for real-time response. It is widly used in transaction such as credit card authorization used by gateway provider such as one of the biggest Authorize.Net at http://www.authorizenet.com. Their service fee is low and is getting more and more clients including our company at http://www.shopfleet.com, than Verisign. The powerful client-side version allows you to connect to the backend db from javascript. This is really amazing. A good tutorial on XMLHTTPRequest I found online to share: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/02/09/xml-http-request.html The client callbacks in ASP.net is actually sth like XMLHTTPRequest.

But when IE4 first came out, Netscape Navigator version 4 (and even version 3!) still had a fair amount of market share. It's only been more recently (relatively speaking) that the vast majority of the general public has migrated up to more advanced browser versions. And also only recently that some Big Names began using those techniques in real world applications. Sure, the ability to do this kind of stuff has been around since IE4.

It's pretty funny that the plumbing for doing this has been around since IE 4 and is just now gaining momentum.

AJAX is very useful. I've been using it to develop a new plugin, and without it there is no realistic way (or reason) you could do what it does. (btw if you are interested in the plugin its on my website - WordPress: Touched, I won't link it, that would be cheap). However AJAX has limits, and some people seem to be touting it as the next buzzword. I'm just glad Adaptive Path made up a name that is easier to type and pronounce than XMLHttpRequest ;) Yup!
