AJAX - fantastic, i’ve just added my first bit of it at alistairmcclymont.com. Its a database linked slideshow for my portfolio - the beauty of AJAX is that it all happens on the page - so smooth animated effects are possible. On top of that this script gets over the problem of the URL not changing, and so hampering bookmarking of pages (the script adds a little number onto the end of the URL - and doesn’t get in the way of the php which is doing the same thing). Check out the slideshow here.

Its all based on the script from this guy Max Kiesler. I just slapped a bit of php and mySQL onto it. I might get around to posting it if anyone’s interested
