I really didn't mean its meaning < g > as an abbreviation. I tried to say, "to be AJAX being asynch is not needed". IOW there is Asynch and Synch AJAX, and therefor it is not just plain AJAX. Anyway who cares about these ultra academic details.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX as is:

"Despite the name, the use of JavaScript and XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous.[3]"

>>But AFAIK A in AJAX doesn't really mean Asynch and Javascript or Xml is not needed to be AJAX either. Maybe I remember wrong.
