Browser compatibility is an important consideration. One has to make sure the "Engine" behind Ajax's server handshake is properly constructed, but one can never predict which browsers the users will favor. The programming tool that allows Ajax applications to make HTTP requests to a server is an object that you can use from within JavaScript code.
