Out of curiosity, how does Digg do the cool "show comment" thing where the comment is made visible? I assume it's ajax, but I'm new to web development so I could be way way wrong :)
There is no mystery to Ajax. Just Google XMLHttpRequest and you'll find everything you need. Essentially most of ajax is about using XMLHttpRequest. Whats amazing is most of you could care less or even know that XMLHttpRequest was conceived by Microsoft as an active x object for IE5. But once the Mozilla group injected it in Mozilla it was suddenly cool. See MS does innovate (remember Iframes was IE only as well).

130? Isn't that like 10% of the last "comprehensive" list of tutorials?crilen: MySQL will output data as XML if you want an in-between route.

This spamming of lists of Ajax tutorials to digg has gone beyond ridiculous. Now we've even got a second salvo of spam in the comments.

I am using an alternative to XMLHttpRequest because of the cross domain restriction - check the JSON alternative - <a class="user" href="http://padmanijain.googlepages.com/myexperimentwii.html">http://padmanijain.googlepages.com/myexperimentwii.html</a>
