Add Ajax to your HTML Forms with Alajax jQuery Plugin

Adding AJAX to your static web pages makes a lot of business sense. If I were to make a list of benefits that AJAX delivers, it would be too long to finish today’s post. In a nutshell, it improves user experience by adding responsiveness to your web pages, and by minimizing steps (and reducing time) at UI level to complete a task. Not to mention, AJAX saves a lot of HTTP requests to save bandwidth.

For those of you who are not well versed with scripting, Alajax provides a simple solution to add AJAX to normal HTML forms. Alajax is a small jQuery plugin that adds all the necessary code to your HTML forms to make them dynamic and responsive.

It sends the form by Ajax to the URL given in “action” property of the form. Also, the plugin uses the “method” property to use POST or GET method.
