    <p>AJAX is really fancy term for giving the browser the ability to refresh parts of its content with the need to reload an entire page. Like many have said, it doesn't require XML, or even Javascript in order to implement it. In fact in its early days it was done with with VBScript and Jscript and just called DHTML. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jesse James Garrett may have invented the AJAX term</a>, but it was really Microsoft that invented the concept behind it.</p> <p><a href="http://garrettsmith.net/blog/archives/2006/01/microsoft_inven_1.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This source says Microsoft started it in 1999</a>, but I would date the birth of this technology even further. This <a href="http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2005/10/69316" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wired article</a> is probably more accurate on the date of this technology being in the late 90's, much of it coming from the old days of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb263969(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MSDN DHTML Dude columns</a> written by Michael Wallent at Microsoft which started back in 1997. Much of the story is also told in this great video here by Michael himself: <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Michael-Wallent-Advent-and-Evolution-of-WPF/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Michael-Wallent-Advent-and-Evolution-of-WPF/</a> Megan still works at Microsoft by the way working on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Wallent" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Silverlight team nowadays,</a> Microsoft's replacement for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ActiveX</a>.</p> <p>Back to the AJAX thingy...when Jesse James Garrett back in 2005 he was mostly talking about the use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHTTPRequest" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XMLHTTPRequest</a> within Javascript code, and a dash of salt. That later began a hip word that many people started using even though they had no idea what it was, and thought that is really something brand new and hip, when really it was just a remix of something old.....sort of like many hip-hop songs you hear nowadays.</p> <p>It's not new, just a newer version of something old!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
