AJAX/DHTML
AJAX may be overhyped, but it truly can enhance the user experience, sometimes in dramatic ways. Carefully implemented, AJAX and DHTML can simplify interactions and provide faster, more contextual feedback.

- Using AJAX to load HTML content into an HTML page
- Creating an interactive, pannable Timeline, using MIT’s Timeline API and an XML file
- Creating an interactive Timeplot, using multiple datasources, using MIT’s Timeplot and a comma-separated data file
