Ajax without JavaScript is just impossible. When you take the meaning of Ajax, JavaScript becomes a very important part of this web development tool since after all, the letter J in Ajax stands for JavaScript. Any developer who would like to have an Ajax based website should learn JavaScript or at least learn a framework that could control JavaScript with another language.
However, more and more developers are associating Ajax not only with JavaScript but also with the experience. Ajax usually lets their users experience the best of client side scripting as the webpage refreshes the information without the need to refresh the entire webpage. JavaScript does this without even requiring their users to install any web application to achieve this feature. Based on this experience, we can actually make an Ajax experience without JavaScript.
A new, simple and free script is available online today that enables developers to build an Ajax based website without JavaScript or any framework assistance. Using simple coding you could change the face of the user’s content without even changing the URL. The script is called HyperLink 2.0 and it is a simple code that could be easily integrated or could be the main coding in your website.
To enable HyperLink 2.0, web developers will have to place each webpage within the <body> tag. These tags could be easily retrieved by a commanded already added in the script. When the user clicks on the link, it points to the command which eventually retrieves the information located within the <body> tag.
Obviously, the key to this script is the ability of the user to place every part of the webpage inside the <body> tag. Since it is wrapped as part of the webpage, users will not find any changes in the URL as the changes will only be based on the body of the webpage.
At first glance this script does not have any JavaScript in them. But it is actually a very smart trick used by developers of this script. Instead of JavaScript working within the users browser, Java Script is actually used within the scripting but it will not be loaded using the client side scripting but through the server. Since the information on the <body> tags is loaded from the browser, JavaScript is implemented only internally. The information was loaded without JavaScript and we cannot really run away from the web development language but apparently, we can hide it.
Of course this layout is not an ideal layout for developers to use in their Ajax based website. Even with proper coding, this script is a little bit slower than its Ajax counterpart because JavaScript is used in the server.
But this script goes to show that developers can easily lighten the browser a little bit by removing JavaScript and still providing the same interactivity with their users. Maybe if the server becomes more powerful in terms of hardware performance then this script should be a viable option for developers who want to have a lighter web application for their users.
