Well, AJAX only gives you a clientsolution.
Like replacing pieces on a document with fresh material that is delivered
without a full page rebuild.
If you need databasequeries and the like, you still need to make the scripts
on the server.
I have looked at AJAX, but I don't see the point really. :-/
(I guess I am an oldfashioned guy.)
Maybe when you have a very heavyly filled page it makes sense to replace
just a part of it.

Some people claimed AJAX could prevent others from 'stealing' your content,
but that is not true. (It only makes it a little more work.)

just my 2 cents...
Don't flame me AJAX-fan. :-)
