Lasso 8.5 includes built-in support for AJAX techniques. This new method of building Web sites, sometimes called Web 2.0, allows a Web page to be updated and provide interactive content without page reloads.
Lasso includes a set of LJAX tags which make it easy to incorporate AJAX functionality into an existing Lasso site using familiar Lasso concepts like container tags.
In addition, Lasso provides an excellent back-end data source for sites built using third-party AJAX libraries such as those by script.aculo.us, Yahoo!, and Google. Lasso's powerful scripting language, ability to manipulate JavaScript and CSS files, and flexible database abstraction make it easy to customize data using AJAX techniques.
