AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards. AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page. AJAX was made popular in 2005 by Google, with Google Suggest.
Google Suggest is using AJAX to create a very dynamic web interface: When you start typing in Google's search box, a JavaScript sends the letters off to a server and the server returns a list of suggestions. Examples of applications using AJAX: Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, and Facebook tabs
You can also use AJAX to create some beautiful loading effects on your blogger blog. Here we go:
- Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed"
- Find and place following code below <body>:
<div id='loading'><div id='progress-bar'></div><div id='loader'>Loading...</div></div>
- Now add following code just above </head>:
<script charset='utf-8' src='http://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script>
(function($){
$("html").removeClass("v2");
$("#header").ready(function(){ $("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "25%" },1500) });
$("#footer").ready(function(){ $("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "75%" },1500) });
$(window).load(function(){
$("#progress-bar").stop().animate({ width: "100%" },600,function(){
$("#loading").fadeOut("fast",function(){ $(this).remove(); });
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<style>
