How exactly is this an AJAX app? Looks to me like it’s just JavaScript… ---

the method is AJAX in nature, it uses javascript to dynamically rewrite the elements on the page. ---

Using JavaScript to rewrite page elements doesn’t make it AJAX-ian. Looking through the example code I don’t see any XML requests-that’s what makes an AJAX app. Cool app either way, but nothing more than JavaScript + CSS. ---

Looking through the example code I don’t see any XML requests-that’s what makes an AJAX app. Cool app either way, but nothing more than JavaScript + CSS. I’m sure it uses the DOM, and it runs on an XHTML page, so technically it is using XML 😉 ---

Yes, technically it is using XML - but not in the sense that a true AJAX app does. There aren’t any asynchronous server-side requests using the XMLHttpRequest object. All it seems to be doing is, as prstudio said, “[using] javascript to dynamically rewrite the elements on the page.” [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/ajax-lightbox/183904.md?page=1)
