A major challenge of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)-driven Web sites is the lack of a Back button. We will use JavaScript to create a history stack for the Ajax photo gallery

Good article on how to deal with the browser Back, Forward and Reload button.

Someone has built and AJAX powered version of mytop, the little console based MySQL monitoring tool I wrote years ago. I guess it’s now buzzword compliant.

mytop is a handy little program for monitoring MySQL queries that we’ve used in the past on a couple of our boxes so I decided to fire up this AJAX version and see how it fared. AjaxMyTop received 3.7 out of 5 rating at Ajaxian as of this writing.

Installation started at 8:38am PST. gunzip ajaxMyTop.tar.gz. tar -xvf ajaxMyTop.tar. Threw dom errors right away, documentation is non-existent. Error was result of PHP 5.x required for the program. Turns out Michael Kimsal hacked up processlist.php to work in PHP4. Here is the PHP 4 process.php source file you’ll need if you aren’t running PHP5. And no, I didn’t clean up the indenting. Total time spent on this project: 20 minutes.
