Wanted: easy-to-update web pages. It’s time to take things
into your own hands, and start writing code that updates your web pages
on the y. Using the Document Object Model, your pages can take on
new life, respond to users’ actions, and help you ditch unnecessary page
reloads forever. By the time you’re done with this chapter, you’ll be able to
add, remove, and update content virtually anywhere on your web page. So
turn the page, and let’s take a stroll through the Webville Tree Farm.

control of my DOM
trees. A little pruning
here, a bit of snipping there,
and my web pages are
more dynamic than
ever.

OK, so here’s the thing: I’m really enjoying
getting my head around asynchronous
programming... but all my friends are into
fancy effects and ashy sites. Isn’t that
part of what makes Ajax apps so cool?
Jenny, edgling
web programmer.
NetFlix has some nice
popups, without requiring
any page reloading.
Flickr is a great Ajax app...
very responsive, with a
killer user interface.
Google Maps is another popular
Ajax-driven application.
