In this tutorial, you will learn that How to build an Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) Really Simple Syndication (RSS) reader, as well as a Web component that you can place on any Web site to look at the articles in the RSS feeds.

The first thing I thought about doing when I read about requesting Extensible Markup Language (XML) from JavaScript code on a Web page was to get some RSS and display it. But I immediately ran into the security issue of XML Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), where a page that comes from www.mysite.com can’t address pages from anywhere other than www.mysite.com. My plans to build a generic RSS reader in just the page were dashed. But Web 2.0 is all about ingenuity, and solving the problem of how to create an RSS reader with XMLHTTP teaches a lot about how to program the 2.0 Web.

Saint Tropez is the most charming little mediterranean town in the region of Provence, and is truly an international tourist mecca that has become a gateway for travellers to the Côte d’ Azur.

Lying on the Mediterranean coast between Hyeres and Sainte Maxime, St. Tropez’s beauty has drawn people from around the world, from internationally famous movie stars to couples enjoying a romantic honeymoon.

There are at least 40 beaches on the peninsula, with the most famous being Bouillabaisse Beach, Caneliers Beach and Salins Beach.. Celebrities and movie stars have, for years gathered at the market square of the Place des Lices, to play a game of boules or sip Pastis under the trees, in their comfortable leather Tropéziennes sandals!

St. Tropez, also known as “St. Trop”, was simply a charming little port in the 1950’s, before artists and writers, actors and actresses all fell under it’s spell. Over the years, it’s fame grew and in summer, it attracted the likes of Picasso, Francoise Sagan, Jacques Prévert and many others enjoying a warm mediterranean summer. With the arrival of Brigitte Bardot here in the 6O’s, the legend of Saint Tropez was cemented and since then, St. Tropez has become the vacation spot for chic Parisiens and jet setting sophisticates.

In the summer, with all the rich and famous here, it is no wonder that luxurious villas line the bay, where often, private parties are held. And on the bay, the biggest and most beautiful yachts line up, reminiscient of the bay of Monte Carlo. In the town, the sidewalk cafe tables are full of people people-watching, hoping to see and be seen.

When to visit

Yet, in the spring and autumn, the crowds dwindle, and one can slowly admire the charming little streets and alleys without the crowds.

In the early mornings, one can find fruit, vegetables and flowers and choose from the fresh catch of the day from the local fishermen at the Place aux Herbes. In the neighbouthood, one must also try the delectable confections from the famous brasseries Le Gorille and Sénéquier.

A typical Provencal market is held every Tuesday and Saturday morning in the Place des Lices. In the months of May and June, one can also observe the lively religious and festive celebrative processions called “Bravades”.

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a new paradigm which was introduced in 2005. The purpose of Ajax is that of giving the illusion that websites are responsive. It achieves this by processing requests which involve the sending and receiving of small packets of data without refreshing the web browser.

Ajax is founded on:

XHTML - A rigid subset of html which is used to mark-up and style the information.

DOM - The Document Object Model which can be accessed by the client browsers.

XMLHttpRequest - The object used to exchange the information asynchronously.

XML - The format used to transfer the data from the server to the client.

In this tutorial we will see how to create a piece of text that keeps changing using Ajax. Before you start this tutorial make sure that you have a text editor and a web server with PHP extensions available. The following section explains the source files, why they were created, and how to deploy them.
