I go by the rule-of-thumb to use ajax when the application really is an application and not in any way similar to a website. Anytime I want to use the word page to describe something or "go to" to describe an action I know ajax is a bad choice. Ajax is so cool when you manage to find a good use for it, though.
Google Calendar (even Gmail to a lesser extent) is a good example of a "proper" application. I have never clicked the back button in Calendar by mistake but I have managed to do it a few times in Gmail (trying to switch back to the inbox and instead reloading the whole thing). /Martin On Mar 30, 3:45 pm, Stu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hahaha, I hear you.
