Definition for AJAX

AJAX is a combination of technologies (Javascript/XML/HTML) that work together to make Websites that update without refreshing the entire page. With AJAX you can update portions of a web page at a time.

Probably the most critical component of AJAX is the "XMLHttpRequest object". It allows the dynamic transfer of information with the need for a full page refresh. Sites like Google Mail (Gmail.com) and Google Maps (google.com/maps) have really made AJAX popular.
