Steve showed off some Apple Ajax, when he demo’d the new iWeb product that is part of the iLife suite.
When you publish your content to .Mac, to be shared on the web, there is a very nice photo slideshow viewer that is all Ajax.
iWeb looks like a very simple tool. I would love to see a iWeb Pro, that can do this for more than mom and pop?

IE 8 Crashing Problem
Hello Everyone,

We\'re using AJAX to dynamically load content using a tabbed...
In Episode 25, we chat about IE 8, standards, Acid3, server side JavaScript, and more.
Who are the ajaxians? Find out.
Please contact us at . We would love to hear about any news that we could put up here.
We have individual blogs too:
The page linked throws two errors in IE6 and several serious CSS errors in Mozilla. In IE6 the page remains blank.
So much for releasing beta’s.
So who exactly was mentioned by Steve during the keynote?
“Dion”? “The guys from Ajaxian”? Or just “Ajax”?

just “ajax technology”
Just to clarify Dion’s post — we find it interesting that someone at Steve’s level mentions ‘Ajax’ by name; we didn’t consider that some kind of reference to Ajaxian.com or any kind of credit to any of the Ajaxians personally.
I’ll edit the post.
Apple has been a big supporter of “Ajax” or at least the XMLHttpRequest object for awhile now. Search for “xmlhttprequest” on google and the first thing that comes up is an Apple developer page regarding it.
Lots of people don’t realize how many ajax type web apps they’re running because they’re encapsulated in Mac OS X’s WebKit framework. Safari and it’s RSS reader and Mail are some of main ones in Mac OS X 10.4. There are many other 3rd party apps.
Apple + Ajax = “AppleJax” :) Ok, enough silliness…back to work (as the boss comes around to crack the whip)
The pages generated by iWeb validate under XHTML transitional but they’re not pretty to look at, sadly.
On the other hand and as it’s already been said Apple has been using quite a lot of XHR for quite some time now and the Apple page for it is referenced almost universally (the Apple Developer page mentioned)
Almost every Dashboard widget uses XHR as well and current applications based on Webkit do as well.
Ironically, being XHR “invented” by Microsoft for Web Outlook :)
I’m a mac user, so I may not be really unbiased here.
