Event handlers in Ajax and JavaScript have always been thought is a necessary but simple function to configure. When configured in a traditional manner, Ajax based applications will work as expected – events will be properly loaded and the elements will be handled in an efficient manner. Usually developers would use event handlers to store data in elements in order for the application to run smoothly. But storing data in elements has a downside. Because elements are continuously stored with data, the Ajax application will eventually run into data storage problem. In the end, you’ll end up with a cache problem that is common in IE browsers.

Ajax based developers who opted not to use frameworks have the luxury of customizing their application to whatever they like. However, they also run the risk of building an application that may not work because the coding was not properly done. If this happens, developers have to work on their codes again. Of course, there is a stage wherein developers will have to check the validity of their application, but if they are able to minimize errors right from the start, development is faster and correcting errors would be a lot easier.

The development of JavaScript especially on its use on Ajax is very remarkable. The support that comes from different software companies is remarkable. You can tell the support of different developers as well through the number of frameworks as well as websites dedicated to Ajax. When Ajax was first released in 2005, it was thought to be a very difficult programming language, but with the help of frameworks, entry level developers could easily build an Ajax based application.

Flash and Ajax can be considered as two competing developing techniques. After all, Adobe tried to offer RIA programming language through Flex and AIR. Although it had followers because of their impressive interface, its popularity is not the same with Ajax. Ajax on the other hand has been constantly the target for security experts because of the lack of security in its coding. Ajax is a very complicated programming technique so it is always possible that security measures could be overlooked for the sake of performance.

The usual trend of most ajax frameworks is to aid developers in building an Ajax based application or website without even writing a single line of code. These frameworks offer a drag and drop interface which ensures easy website development. All the developer has to do is to bind these functions to specific parameters and data to establish an Ajax based application. Then there is Enunciate. This type of framework is unapologetic in requiring their developers to code in Java before anything Ajax based application has to be built. It could take time and it could be quite frustrating if the Java developer is not yet well versed on the programming language

There have been lots of frameworks that have assisted developers in building an Ajax based website or application. Some of them are named after the programming language used for building that application. For example, AHAX is a type of framework that enables the developer in building an Ajax based application through HTML. This really simplifies Ajax based development since it will only require knowledge of HTML. There are even simpler frameworks that enable development without a single line of JavaScript written. There are also frameworks that enable the developer to just drag and drop functions and eventually weave them together to build an application.

In building an Ajax based website, it could be possible that a single data would be processed at the same time but different functions. This function is enabled because of XMLHttpRequest could dispatch two or more functions at the same time. However, this could be a problem especially when a function interprets the data based on the command from the client side. The result is a broken logic – creating an error which eventually would be an inconvenience to the user. In either DOM or MVC architecture, XMLHttpRequest could dispatch two or more function.

Before Ajax and JavaScript was used, Java has been the programming language that was used in developing websites which offered enhanced web based experience. Although it may require users to download the latest version of Java before any of the Java based application could be implemented. Through Java, user interaction has become a reality. Prior to Ajax and JavaScript, Java was neck to neck with Adobe’s Flash.

Caching with an Ajax based website will always be a challenge for developers. Browsers will always have their own caching technology which is a little bit unfortunate because of its variety. Mozilla based browsers have been smart enough in dealing with caching in Ajax by limiting the streaming information. On the other hand IE have problems with caching as the browser will constantly be updated with the data. IE will always be updated with data but they will never be shed. Since it will be stored continuously, the temporary files will increase which could slow down the Ajax based operation.

Ads in websites could be considered as the lifeblood of any website. However, ads could be used as a means to attack especially Ajax based websites. JavaScript is known to be highly vulnerable to outside attacks. There are developers of Ajax based website who admit advertisements to ensure their operations continue. But this need is often exploited and as a result, the Ajax based website becomes susceptible to different types of attacks.
