MooTools Image Preloading with Progress Bar
The idea of image preloading has been around since the dawn of the internet. When we didn't have all the fancy stuff we use now, we were forced to use ugly mouseover images to show dynamism. I don't think you were declared an official programmer until you had seen Macromedia Dreamweaver's mouseover function. MooTools image preloading requires very little code — let me show you how it's done.

Ajaxian » Reverse Autocomplete; The details matter
Autocomplete was one of the first Ajax patterns to come about. We often talk about how it looks, but the how it works part is what really matters. How smart is the algorithm to work out what you are completing against? How long do you go before you kick in to see a result? Does it narrow enough?

Ajaxian » Google Analytics after onLoad and document.write for XHTML
I saw two articles that were both looking at similar issues. Firstly, Pete Higgins has looked at the fact that Google Analytics is normally loaded via serial script tags which cause the rest of the application to wait and created a simple wrapper that changes things. We have all seen the tell tale: "waiting for google-analytics.com ... ".

Ajax security tools
Certain vulnerabilities within Ajax applications can allow malicious hackers to reek havoc with your applications. Identity theft, unprotected access to sensitive information, browser crashes, defacement of Web applications, and Denial of Service attacks are just a few of the potential disasters Ajax applications can be prone to and which developers need to guard against when building Ajax capabilities into their applications. Regular developerWorks author Judith Myerson suggests some application-strengthening tools, including Firefox tools and add-ons, which you can use to improve or solve security problems within your Ajax applications.

Calendar: a Javascript class for Mootools that adds accessible and unobtrusive date pickers to your form elements
Calendar is a Javascript class that adds accessible and unobtrusive date-pickers to your form elements. This class is a compilation of many date-pickers I have implemented over the years and has been completely re-written for Mootools. I have tried to include all the features that have been most useful while streamlining the class itself to keep it as small as possible. Use the links below to see what features are available in Calendar and how it might enhance the accessibility, usability and validation of form elements on your website.

Delivering the right experience to the right device | Filament Group, Inc.
Inspired by Jeremy Keith's concept of Hijax, we've adopted the practice of coding with progressive enhancement in mind to ensure optimal accessibility, compatibility with multiple browsers and platforms, and ease of maintenance for each site or web application. But how do you do that when so many browsers only partially support javascript and CSS techniques? We met the challenge by developing a script to test the browser's ability to handle modern coding techniques, and ensure a usable experience for all.

CodeProject: Fast, Scalable, Streaming AJAX Proxy - continuously deliver data from across domains. Free source code and programming help
Due to browsers' prohibition on cross domain XMLHTTP calls, all AJAX websites must have a server side proxy to fetch content from external domains like Flickr or Digg. From the client-side JavaScript code, an XMLHTTP call goes to the server-side proxy hosted on the same domain, and then the proxy downloads the content from the external server and sends back to the browser. In general, all AJAX websites on the Internet that are showing content from external domains are following this proxy approach, except for some rare ones who are using JSONP. Such a proxy gets a very large number of hits when a lot of components on the website are downloading content from external domains. So, it becomes a scalability issue when the proxy starts getting millions of hits. Moreover, a web page's overall load performance largely depends on the performance of the proxy as it delivers content to the page. In this article, we will take a look at how we can take a conventional AJAX Proxy and make it faster, asynchronous, continuously stream content, and thus make it more scalable.
