Microsoft Ajax

Microsoft Ajax features enable you to quickly create Web pages that provide a rich user experience and that include responsive and familiar user interface (UI) elements. Microsoft Ajax includes client-script libraries that incorporate cross-browser ECMAScript (JavaScript) and dynamic HTML (DHTML) technologies. By using Microsoft Ajax, you can improve the user experience and the efficiency of your Web applications.

Microsoft Ajax applications are compatible with all popular modern Web browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.
