AJAX: Asynchronous JavaScript And XHTML

Javascript in the web page at the browser exchanges data with the server behind the scenes and dynamically updates the HTML, so that the entire Web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change.

The XMLHttpRequest (available since Internet Explorer 5.0 as an ActiveX object, also Mozilla 1.0, Safari 1.2, Opera 8.0) or an IFrame is used to exchange data asynchronously with the web server.

  The ability to update content asynchronous (remote scripting/changing a web page dynamically without a browser refresh) is the mythical power behind AJAX! Whether or not you agree with this notion is not important. Let’s just assume you agree, and because you agree, it would then be fair to say that using XML to grasp the power of AJAX would not necessarily be all that pertinent. What is vital is the basic understanding of the technique used (hidden requests to the server) to update content asynchronously.
