Dynamic CSAs - Part 2: Client/Server Communication
By: Rob Williams on Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Reader Level: 
In the articles leading up to this point we've looked at and explored all of the various client-side technologies and methods that make Dynamic Client-Side Applications so appealing and revolutionary from a user's point of view. We've seen how JavaScript can be used to manipulate CSS and the DOM, and as a result, give the user the ability to change and interact with web sites in entirely new and different ways; all in real time without having to wait for page reloads and server responses. As important as all of that has been though, it's only the first aspect of an effective Dynamic CSA.
In this article we'll begin to explore how we can take all of that client-side interactivity and tie it back into server-side functionality; after all, there's no point in having a fantastic user interface that only presents a single piece of information and then has to be reloaded.
