Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a Web technology that allows browser-based applications to communicate with a server without transmitting the entire HTTP input, and to render only parts of the form rather than the entire form.

Using XML and the Document Object Model, AJAX-based software can provide more interactivity to browser-based applications and reduce the traffic between the client (browser) and the server.

Process Commander uses AJAX technology in:

• Dynamic select operations
• Deferred loading of sections of work object forms
• Display on work object forms and flow action forms of calculated values computed by declare expression rules
• Pop-up windows associated with report displays (known as the SmartInfo feature)
• SmartPrompt support
• Autocomplete JSP processing
• Several rule forms produced by the Form Builder

If your application uses a JavaScript-event and URL to start execution of an activity using AJAX, select the May Start? checkbox on the Security tab of the activity rule.

This capability is supported by Microsoft's implementation of the XMLHTTP application programmer interface. In Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6, XMLHTTP is supported by an ActiveX control.
