Proof of Concept For Ajax Without JavaScript

JonathansCorner.com writes "Even if Ajax was backronymed to 'Asynchronous JavaScript and XML,' it works with JSON substituted for XML. Here's a proof of concept that JavaScript/VBScript are not strictly necessary either. The technique, besides being used standalone, may be useful to provide a better 'graceful degradation' for Ajax applications used by clients with scripting turned off."

Re:Not Ajax

[catmistake]

I thank you for posting. So, to recap, it's not asynchrinous, and it's not javascript. I'd say there's a flaw in whatever the logic is for this 'proof.' I just love what the kids are doing with language these days. Could this be just a poor attempt to draw attention to something not as well known as Ajax? wtf!!! [Sorry... I've been a little tender of late after having to witness the barrage of tech writers recently humiliating themselves by referring to an unknown prototype phone as something it couldn't possibly be, over and over, and they're still doing it (the iPhone 4G: proof that journalists are idiots-- hint: no 4G network, no 4G phone).]
