Great. Sure it is, even more considering ideas like SPARQL-AJAX programs

Not really too. Wha I do is to use the DOM Inspector FireFox extension and the “Inspect Element” extension. Then I check how the DOM documents are builded with these tools and follow the path with the javascript functions that enable you to play with it. It works fine for me. But if you find some, please post them here

Thanks,

Thanks for your comment, it’s a good point and probably something I have to clarify. The fact is, if I think back when I started to check at the world of Ajax, I have been a little bit lost at first. The term and techniques are somewhat young. If you check on Amazon.com for example, most of the “Ajax” books are not yet released. I was reading that Google Maps was an application using the so-called Ajax techniques but they were not telling me what I could and could not be able to do with these so called Ajax techniques. More and more good source of information on Ajax, like yours, are emerging. However, people have to find them to benefit from their knowledge.

This said, the information is there but distributed everywhere. So if you are a web developer that does not have days and weeks to search for the good information, the good practices, and the good development tools, you will probably be a little bit lost, and see the whole thing as “mysterious” (I know, the term is probably a little bit strong). However, it is what this book is intended to: a complete source of information, clear and quickly readable, where you can find all the information you need to start developing with the Ajax Techniques and to know what are the best development practices to develop strong Ajax interface that do not fall behind the caprice of each individual web browser.

Hope it clarify a little bit my assertion,

Thanks

Thanks for posting this review. Are you able to elaborate on the comments at the start, i.e. which techniques do you feel remain obscure and in need of documentation?
