Introduction
SmartAjax is a new, highly flexible and scalable script for jQuery which is all you need to ajaxify your website.
Or in other words you can use the most recent web technologies to deliver outstanding user experience.
You can also submit forms with AJAX .
SmartAjax uses some HTML5 apis to support AJAX history without the need to use the hash-fragment (#). Older browsers which don’t yet support HTML5 will still continue to work with the hash (#url). Also if the user hasn’t enabled JavaScript it degrades gracefully and your website loads normally without AJAX .
SmartAjax is highly configurable with global and instance options which gives you enough flexibility to use it wherever AJAX is needed or preferred.
