What is an AJAX-style portal?
For customers, Ajax-style portal is most of the operations will not refresh the page, including the most basic portlets maximize, minimize, delete and other operations, browser and server interaction is not through the URL, or the form of the post completed, It was done through XMLHttpRequest.
Let's take a look at real-world examples: we've actually seen a lot of actual AJAX-style portal,
For example, Microsoft and Google's Portal:
Http://my.msn.com
Http://google.com
Apply for an account number, and then enter the operation, such as add, delete, maximize, minimize the portlet try, the page does not like the traditional portal as a result of refreshing the page, the entire operation is very smooth.
