AJAX

Many web pages now use AJAX to populate data, rather than relying on the server to generate the web page with the data already populated. By populating the data dynamically, server load is potentially reduced and the web page can be more responsive.

WorkflowFirst applications automatically support a full JSON interface for accessing all data from JavaScript. By using the apiget.aspx and apiput.aspx pages, along with getfile.aspx page, you will easily be able to use AJAX functions to retrieve data and utilize it to populate the HTML DOM dynamically.

While a tutorial in using AJAX is beyond the scope of this user guide, you can find many examples in the excellent jQuery library, and also by reading more in the section on JSON.
