It's a way of using the XML HTTP Request object in JavaScript to
provide a very dynamic instant web experience without page reloads
(there are compatability caveats of course, but name me a technology
that doesn't have this).

XML HTTP Request info here: http://jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html

Very easy to use PHP interface: http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/

Some superb examples of AJAX in action: http://www.forgetfoo.com
Look at areas like the calendar, image gallery, etc - looks almost
Flash quality doesn't it?

Best regards,

Richard Davey
