Hi >specific versions of AJAX Im not sure what you mean by this statement. As before Jmeter (and loadrunner) can send any HTTPRequest and an AJAX request is a HTTPRequest - though i guess there might be limitations Im unaware of. The problems usually arise when you javascript dynamically calculates data , and since JMeter does not execute javascript, you have to calculate these values yourself (an area where JMeter is still very good , but load runner is pretty poor).
