IE Mobile Supports AJAX
Posted by Jerry Raia in "DEVELOPER" @ 08:00 PM
"I have been asked about AJAX development support for Internet Explorer Mobile (running on Windows Mobile-based devices). The short answer is: YES, IE Mobile on Windows Mobile 2003 and later supports AJAX! The long answer was given last year by Kevin Grey, SDET on the IE Mobile Team..."
What is AJAX you might ask (I had to ask)? It stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML of course. The basic idea is instead of refreshing the entire web page when you are entering some information, for example, only the part that changed updates. On a mobile web page this is great with page loading being painfully slow at times.
