Timeplot is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for plotting time series and overlay time-based events over them (with the same data formats that Timeline supports).

jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

The Java 2 Enterprise Edition includes JavaServer Faces technology, which provides a mature and extensible user interface component model. The design of this model makes it easy for application developers to create custom components by extending the standard components included with JavaServer Faces technology and to reuse these components across applications.

The AJAX Tag Library is a set of JSP tags that simplify the use of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) technology in JavaServer Pages. AJAX is primarily rooted in JavaScript. However, many server-side developers do not have an extensive knowledge of client-side programming in the browser. It's much easier in some cases for J2EE developers, especially, to simply add a JSP tag to the page to gain the function desired. This tag library fills that need by not forcing J2EE developers to write the necessary JavaScript to implement an AJAX-capable web form. The tag library provides support for live form updates for the following use cases: autocomplete based on character input to an input field, select box population based on selections made from another field, callout or balloon popups for highlighting content, refreshing form fields, and toggling images and form field states on/off.

It's been a while since I experimented with ajax and zope. My last ajax experiment was with mini, getting results from the server. However, the problem was that there's no visual indicator to tell the users that the contents have changed. Enters Scriptaculous. It's a great library that makes producing visual effects a cinch, well to someone with limited javascript experience like myself.

AJAX, now I'm certified buzzword compliant ;). Seriously, ajax is Async Javascript and XML with which we can do stuff without page refresh and gives the impression that the browser is very much like your everyday GUI client.
