The information on this page is a bit outdated but I can see the evolution of Ajax over the years. See the controls on Trulia for a really nice implementation.

Willabee, as a big believer in unobtrusive Javascript, I fully support your views. The patterns above were written four long years ago, when the Ajax term had just been coined. The patterns on AjaxPatterns.org and in the corresponding book do embrace unobtrusive Javascript more. It’s not appropriate for all systems, e.g. full-blown games, but fortunately a major consideration within the web and Ajax community.

It's a pity that all Ajax patterns described here and elsewhere do not start off with a fully functional example with no progressive enhancements.

That is, with no CSS, no JavaScript, no Flash, etc.

If the page communicates with the server then it would also be great to see the traditional, non-refactored server-side code, perhaps doing some server-side validation as part of its process.

Only now are we in a position to add a better user experience. Refactoring the server code to separate parts of the process into modules (web services) that can now be shared with remote scripting from the client and progressively enhancing the client with CSS, DHTML and remote scripting.

If we all followed this pattern, all sites would be totally accessible by everyone, no matter what their dis/ability.

Hi, great post.
I come from java and find DP a great way to avoid unnecessary bugs.
I’m nowadays implementing command pattern on PHP/AJAX.
However, being a script language, it’s harder to work on DP.

“Ajax’s usability sucks, unless you keep it simple” there are a lot of problems when its used and the viewer has javascript turned off, or they are using a cell phone or ipod to view the pages

What about some unit testing patterns? AJAX and Javascript sucks at debugging…

Yup about time somebody look at the usability and HCI of AJAX and not just have it because it is cool
