This is something for all you .NET developers who have a WordPress blog which is in PHP and some time you need to do some PHP work (Like me). Or if you just want to work with PHP on your Visual Studio 2008/2005. jcxsoftware have developed such a Visual Studio Plugin.

When you finished typing your email address and the data you keyed in is valid, it passes the validation so it shows the green check mark without reloading the page. This is done using Ajax.

In this tutorial, you’re going to learn how to make this kind of interactive, Ajax-powered form validation (the same validation sample mentioned earlier). If you haven’t used Ajax before, don’t worry because I will show you how you can create Ajax-powered applications without worrying about the whole XmlHttpRequest process. If you can program with PHP and a little Javascript, you’re good to go. All you need is this handy little open-source Ajax toolkit called Sajax.
