It'll answer your question in detail, but here's the short answer. AJAX is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It user the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest function to create a tunnel from the client's browser to the server and transmit information back and forth without having to refresh the page. As opposed to IFRAME where the inline frame is actually refreshed. Learn this and more tomorrow night!
