Form
AJAX has been the new hotness in web development and the recent web 2.0 craze. By carefully utilizing AJAX, web designers and developers can create a seamless and smooth user experience. Users can continue interacting with a page without breaking the experience with page reloads or redirects.
Lately, I have been asked by many of my web designer friends how to submit a form via AJAX. With jQuery, the process is incredibly simple.
We will use AJAX to submit a very simplified registration form to another PHP page, ajax-register.php. The form will ask the user for their name, their email, and a password. This prevents us from doing any extra logic to check matching passwords.

Update: Modified the code so the form will degrade gracefully if JS is turned off. Special thanks to Erol for pointing this out!
What I do
Build highly scalable web applications in Ruby on Rails, PHP MVC, and Python / Django.
