学习Ajax 的一本好书 Chapter 8 discusses that other showstopper, performance (or rather, lack of !). We show how to monitor the performance of your application and how to nalyze code in order to improve it and keep those improvements consistent ross an application. In part 4, which consists of chapters 9 through 13, we switch gears to look at a umber of Ajax projects. In each case, we code the functionality up in a straight- rward way and then refactor it into something robust that you can drop into ur own projects with no more than a few lines of code. This gives you the bene- t of understanding the principles, the benefits of reuse, as well as showing Ajax factoring in action. In chapter 9, we look at a simple way to give the user a richer experience y enhancing HTML forms with Ajax: we use data entered in one field to pre- opulate a second drop-down list by making a background request to the rver. We continue the theme of form enhancement in chapter 10 with an plementation of type-ahead suggest, fetching data from the server in sponse to user keystrokes.
