Background. My only previous publicly available element of AJAX scripting was the Flickr feed on the frontpage of this site. It’s really simple, just returning the results of a PHP script. To demonstrate I know more than that I’ve taken things a little further and created a contact form.
AJAX POST. The present script is on my Me page and it doesn’t actually send me an email yet, so feel free to click away at it. As I mentioned it’s only one step along, form data is submitted, operation preformed on the server and the screen is updated with the result.
Slight Disclaimer. Since it was a quick job to demonstrate some AJAX there isn’t the necessary backend code to cover for a lack of Javascript, or validation against empty fields.
