Better AJAX Development with Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2
Last updated: Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2008 - Vol. 5 - Issue 3 - IE8
Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 provides a programming model for AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) development that is simpler yet more powerful than ever before, spanning browser, Web page, and server interaction. You’ll be able to build pages that are faster and more functional, with better end-user experiences. Plus, the APIs Microsoft has added to Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 are based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) HTML 5.0 or Web Applications Working Group standards.
