During a recent conversation I had, someone mentioned that it is inaccurate to state that since Ajax is JavaScript.
The scenario was:
"How can I perform an action on a webpage without requiring a page refresh?"
My response:
"Utilize JavaScript along with Ajax"
UPDATE
All right, so... how should I phrase it? "Utilize AJAX"? or "Utilize Javascript"?
AJAX stands for asynchronous JavaScript and XML
In essence, AJAX relies on JavaScript as a fundamental component.
I believe in this scenario, the redundancy lies in specifically discussing how data is added to a page without a full request. If the conversation shifted to detailing interface implementation, which encompasses various actions beyond simply making requests, then the answer would be different. You would then distinguish between solely using javascript for certain tasks versus utilizing AJAX (which includes javascript) to dynamically update the page with server-side data. For instance, claiming to utilize AJAX for certain page animations when asynchronous requests are never made would not be accurate -- showcasing that these terms are not interchangeable. It should suffice to mention that retrieving data via AJAX inherently involves javascript within that scope and thus doesn't require further clarification.
Absolutely, it's quite unnecessary.
EXCEPT....... if you can showcase a scenario where AJAX functions without any involvement of JavaScript... but at that point, perhaps we should reconsider labeling it as AJAX. ;)
Affirmative.
AJAX is the abbreviation for Asynchronous Javascript And XML.
It's not entirely redundant - IE allows for ajax functionality with vbscript (AVAX?).
However, be prepared to face some ridicule...
Indeed, I concur that the use of Ajax is impossible without the utilization of JavaScript.

It's true that "somebody" is correct in pointing out that javascript is closely connected to ajax. However, javascript has many uses beyond just ajax functionality. Instead of saying use ajax, why not specifically recommend implementing ajax for your project?
Merely uttering the word "ajax" to someone inquiring about it may only deepen their confusion. Those familiar with ajax understand that it is a technique utilized to integrate content into a webpage without requiring a full page refresh.
Simplifying your response to just "ajax" in a forum post could suffice if brevity is your goal. It's safe to assume the reader can easily search for "Ajax" and educate themselves on the topic.
On the other hand, providing a more detailed explanation would undoubtedly be more beneficial for those seeking a thorough understanding.
Using JavaScript to make HTTP requests without leaving a webpage is commonly referred to as Ajax. While it may seem redundant at times, there are contexts where mentioning both "JavaScript, including Ajax" can be more appropriate than just saying "Ajax". However, using the term "JavaScript + Ajax" together might come across as unnecessary.
In this particular situation, I would suggest:
"Consider implementing Ajax functionality. Here is a helpful guide that explains what it is and how to utilize it effectively."
Alternatively, you could provide an explanation of Ajax in the context of the conversation instead of simply throwing out the buzzword.
As time has passed, the term AJAX has evolved beyond its original definition. It is now possible to implement AJAX without relying on javascript or xml, and synchronous coding can also be utilized (although it is recommended to use asynchronous coding). Despite future advancements such as web sockets and new programming languages, people are likely to continue referring to this concept as AJAX even in 2050.
Nowadays, "ajax" is commonly understood to refer to dynamic web processes involving communication between a webpage and a server. Therefore, specifying the use of javascript to achieve this functionality is not considered redundant under this interpretation.
