AJAX is more or less fancy Javascript that can be used with ASP.net, HTML or PHP. Since I’m not much of a backend programmer, I usually search for a script that I can make my own. Usually the scripts are free or require a donation.
If you need to add some cool image effects, nice looking forms or tables or web 2.0ish effects to your site then you should check out the following:
- AJAX Rain – a library of over 1100 AJAX scripts. If you need an image gallery, check this site first. Most are free if you give credit to the author or be nice and make a small donation.
- Freeajaxscripts.net – All the scripts listed here are free for non commercial use.
- Dynamic Drive DHTML code library – In addition to original DHTML scripts
and components, they offer some AJAX scripts. - Smashing Magazine – This site is a great resource in general for web designers. The link from here directs you to a post with some useful AJAX scripts.
