About Ajax

Ajax refers to a technique used to update selected elements of a web page without redrawing the entire page. Scripts use the Javascript XMLHttpRequest object to silently download content from a web server and then modify only specific page elements. Note that the embedded WebBrowser never sees the requests and they occur only after the DocumentComplete event has fired.

NAT32 also supports several other update methods, including:

webcmd: refresh the current page of a specified Web window.
js: invoke a Javascript function contained in the current page of a specified Web window.
ws: interact with WebSocket clients.
NAT32's js command is superior to conventional Ajax because page elements are only updated when actually necessary, rather than at fixed intervals (polling), which entails unnecessary Web traffic and timeout delays.

The following Ajax pages refresh automatically every second. They are useful for observing NAT32 behaviour over time.
