AJAX and HTML5 Builder

HTML5 Builder does a lot of things very well, but the AJAX support is not actually asynchronous like AJAX implies – HTML5 Builder makes it happen in the foreground.

As a result of this design decision, a busy symbol is placed on your page while the content is loading.  It doesn’t look as professional as you want.  And it makes some things impossible to do well.

For example, you may want to have an automatically updating control that changes while you type: like Google’s search page Edit field. 

In my book I show how to do real AJAX while working with HTML5 Builder, and we re-create the Google-styled controls.
