AJAX Asyncronous Javascript and XML

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is a new approach to using a number of existing technologies together, including HTML or XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, the Document Object Model, XML, XSLT, and the XMLHttpRequest object. When these technologies are combined in the Ajax model, internet applications are able to make quick, incremental updates to the user interface without reloading the entire browser page.
