Perhaps I'm straying OT here, but I'd disagree--AJAX is a buzzword (or
a cleaning product) but that's it.  If you want to be generous, AJAX
might be a technique--a trick you can lean on to get a job done.
There are frameworks that make it easier to "do" AJAX by hiding
browser incompatibilities and the "messiness" of Javascript, but they
have names like Dojo, GWT, Atlas, and Scriptaculous, although I'm not
sure what the difference is between a well developed library and a
framework.  Perhaps GWT is a framework because it includes libraries
and tools (it includes a Java-to-Javascript compiler), whereas
Scriptaculous is pretty much just a library, I think.
