Thanks a lot to all of you to read my article with such large number.

Thanks for your comments!
However, I really dont think that because certain brwosers dont support javascript is a hindrance to web development. More than 90-95% hits on network happen with a javascript-enabled browser. Hence, improving UI functionality using them is quite worth to services offered via web.

With Head Rush Ajax, in no time you'll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous requests to web servers...and having fun doing it.

By the time you've taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON, and DOM skills up a few notches, you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell in Vail, and even watched a boxing match.

Sound interesting? Then what are you waiting for?

I cant help but think the Web 2.0 obsession is getting out of hand. Its "poster child" is AJAX and, while this is useful, there are massive limitations to its implementation.

Add to this the potential learning curves involved and round off with the browser problems (what happens if the client doesn't have a JS enabled browser?) - all of a sudden it seems that this is actually a niche technology.

If you are designing a cutting edge site, geared to impress other web designers with your jedi-like editing powers then go for it. Web 2.0 your site to death.

If however, you are designing a site for the general public then steer clear.
