      As some other commenters said, this isn’t AJAX. There is no data transmission between the server using XML. This is DHTML (all you are using is Javascript and the DOM). I think people are confused because it uses the JS library called SpryEffects.js but while the effects are built into the Spry framework, it isn’t using AJAX.

      Thats simple javascript. No communication with the server. Javascript is alright add a bit of jquery and you have a lot more effects and .

      I agree, it does not go and talk to any backend server-side script and come back with a result. It is just some neat javascript with html. Big difference.

      This really nice, and I use it, but it is not Ajax. It is just some javascript that does a few different things. It does not go and communicate to a server-side language such as php and come back with a response.

      @KingUser2008

      Why did AJAX get tied into animation? It’s only for getting data.

      “The term Ajax has come to represent a broad group of web technologies that can be used to implement a web application that COMMUNICATES WITH A SERVER in the background, without interfering with the current state of the page.”

      Dreamweaver does know what they are doing, they didn’t say a thing about this spry component being related to AJAX, the only one confused here is you my friend.

      Yes you can, but you have to give the Spry Functions different names, so it only opens the correct section you want open. Giving each section the same name opens all of them.

      Isn’t AJAX used to pull info from the web server and then display on the web page without the effort of refreshing the page? - Info can be coming from a DB. This aint AJAX, anybody can do this crap.

      yeh am a at ajax but i atleast know its not ajax but cool i tried to write this effect but i always failed :( I am bad at javascript. dreamweaver is cool. I was looking for some way to make rounded corner textboxes or wateva but rounded corner in dreamweaver is it possible? i mean without writing the code?

      Actually, he’s right. This is by no means AJAX though still helpful. DHTML is the right category too. AJAX stands for Asynchronous Java Script And XML. This basically means that data is brought to the web page from an webservice for example without the page having to refresh. This data was already embedded into the HTML so there was no need to use AJAX.

      Nice but if you click both of the buttons - both content shows up. Can the content be faded out when another button is hit?
